BALANCE!. Formal Balance

a. symmetrical (may also be radial)

b. Identical or similar elements placed equal

distances from the center of the

composition, so there is equal distribution

of weight on both sides.

EMPHASIS

Focal Point- certain elements that have been stressed in order to set them apart from the other elements of an artists’ composition (art piece)

1. The part of an art piece that is the emphasis is there to draw in the viewer and then allow them to enjoy the rest of the piece.
