Look at the artwork above, is there one thing that stands out and you look at first?
When our eye is led to one part of an artwork, this is called "emphasis"
Look at the photo of michael jordan below......emphasis is being used here, by our eye focusing on Jordan. He is large and everything else is small
so.......one thing needs to be different than everything else. our eye is drawn to what is different!!
use color, size or just do something different to one part to make that part of the art...,,,,,extra special!
some examples of.... emphasis! {the girl is being emphasized}.......she is the only item in color!!
it is better to use bright colors when "emphasizing" the blue colored tie is not as obvious as it might have been had yellow or orange been used in this dark scene
what is being emphasized here??
I hope you'll agree that it was the balloons above being emphasized
the picture above is being emphasized with a bit of color
The person in the middle above is being emphasized
the yellow in the sun draws our eyes to it......it is being emphasized!!
a very emotional story being told in this work of art! an african american man is watching a scene where the kkk is burning a cross the burning cross is being emphasized
a great use of emphasis brings our eye to the balloon first
check out the artwork below............to me, the artist is stating that........ death cannot keep us separtated ..........love connects us with those who have departed. We keep them alive in our memories!
what is being empasized below??
create your own holiday theme! emphazise on the pumpkins here.
