Emphasis - A Principle of Art

Emphasis has to do with determining a focal point or the point on which you'd like the viewer most focused. Its about what element you choose to be dominant, what the eyes are drawn to first, what grabs your attention, the center of interest. Emphasis is usually on the element that is different, by its size, contrast, color, shape, texture, or surroundings, creating an area of focused attention, giving a dramatic climax to the work.
