  15. Emphasis Key Terms Focal point Ways to Create emphasis Contrast Isolation Location Convergence unusual

  16. Emphasis The principle of art that makes one part of the work dominant over the other parts.

  17. If an artist chooses to emphasize one element, all the other elements of the work are made subordinate or less important. The dominant or most important element affects the viewer’s perception of the whole work.

  18. Focal point Sometimes a specific area in a work is emphasized. This area, called the focal point, is the first part of the work to attract the attention of the viewer.

  19. What is the focal point and how can you tell?

  20. Ways to create emphasis and a focal point.

  21. Contrast One way to create a focal point is to place an element that contrasts with the rest of the work in that area. One large shape, for example, will stand out among small ones. One angular, geometric shape will be noticed first among rounded free form shapes. A bright color will dominate low intensity colors, while a light area will dominate a dark design. An object with a smooth texture becomes a focal point in a design with rough textures.

  22. What ways are contrast used in the following pieces? Does it create a focal point? What is the focal point? Ethal PageCecilia Beaux

  23. Daniel in the Lion’s DenPeter Paul Rubens

  24. Isolation Artists use isolation to create a focal point and thereby emphasize one part of the work. They do this by putting one object alone, apart from all the other objects. This draws the viewer’s eye to the isolated object.

  25. Winter Andrew Wyeth

  26. Location A viewer is normally drawn toward the center of a visual area. Thus, something near the center will probably be noticed first. Because the exact center is a predictable place, most artists place the object they wish to emphasize a bit off center.

  27. Chop Suey Edward Hopper

  28. Convergence When many elements in a work seem to point to one item, that item becomes a focal point. This technique can be created with a very obvious radial arrangement of lines. It can also be achieved through a more subtle arrangement of elements.

  30. Execution on the 3rd of May Goya

  31. Unusual In a work of art, an object that is out of the ordinary can become a focal point. In a row of soldiers standing at attention, the one standing on his head will be noticed first. The unexpected will always draw the viewer’s attention.
