The element of emphasis represented in this image is size. In images like this, viewers are generally naturally drawn towards larger objects, however some viewers are drawn to extremely small images. I made a larger dot by adjusting the diameter of my brush. I then made a very small dot by decreasing the size of the brush. Then i made a dot that was in between the other sizes. My goal was that the eye would either be drawn to the extremely small image or the larger image. I think i was successful because when i look at the image my eye is naturally drawn to the larger dot and because i followed the principle of size which helped me successful in this work.

The element of emphasis represented in this image is placement. The eye is drawn to objects at the top of a work first and then moves from left to right, similar to reading a book. I used the same size brush and same color then created three dots. I put on in the middle of the page, hoping it would catch the eye first. Then put one in the bottom left corner, hoping that would be the second image and put another dot in the lower right corner. I think in this work of art i was successful because i followed the principle, which should draw the eye to the image in the center. My eye is naturally drawn to the middle image.

The element of emphasis represented i color. The eye is naturally drawn to colors that contrast its background greatly. I choose to use a light grey background. I then put a dot that was bright blue, so that the eye would be naturally drawn to that first. I then made a darker grey and a light purple dot, in hopes that they would be a secondary focus of the image. I was successful in this image because i created one figure that stands out more than the others because of the color contrast. When i look at this image my eye is drawn to the bright blue dot, which leads to me to believe i was successful.

The image above is a representation of indefinite versus definite shapes. The idea is that forms with more definite lines draw the eye to them before objects that have indefinite shapes. I did this by taking my brush and adjusting the hardness of the brush, the harder the brush the more definite shapes it makes and the softer the brush the more indefinite shapes that it will make. I think that i was successful in accomplishing having one object stand out more than the other two, by creating a more definite shape, it allows the image in the bottom right to stand out more. I think i was successful because when i look at this image my eye is naturally drawn towards it.
