Emphasis Project


1. My primary emphasis is the bottom pink circles. My secondary emphasis is the blue flower in the top left corner. Finally my tertiary emphasis is the small pink flower in the top right corner.

2. I used the rules of emphasis to establish my primary color by using size. I made the pink circles of my primary object the biggest out of all the shapes I used. I used the emphasis of color for my secondary object by making the flower two different shades of blue that provide a colorful and eye-catching contrast, but do not overpower the primary color. For my tertiary object I used the emphasis of size again. I made the flower the smallest on the page so that it would less aparent than everything else, but I included a playful yellow that still keeps it noticable.

3. The best part of my artwork on this project is my blending. I have many different colors in this piece, but I think I do a good job blending all of them in so they flow nicely together.

4. The thing I like least on my project is that although I have many pretty colors that flow nicely together, it is all very soft. I feel that if i had more bold colors it would make the piece more interesting. I think if i added brighter colors the piece would look better but I am still unsure of how to do this.

5. My next step in my project is to add bolder colors and not blend them as much so the artwork isn't as soft. I think I will add more vibrant yellows and oranges to the outsides, to form a solid background color mix. After I apply those colors I will still blend them so it doesn't look sloppy, but the different color contrast that they possess will make the whole piece more eletrifying.

6. I am using blending my making al lmy colors flow together and subtly flow together. I am using variety by including different shapes and many different colors and details to every little detail.

Placement

In this image I included the rule of emphasis, placement. I took a bright red backround and made 5 dots, making it appear to look like a dye. I think I did a good job on being succesful with this image because I definitely have one circle that stands out due to placement, and that is the middle one. I put it in the middle because there it was the most visible and I think worked the best to portray placement in this image.

Definite vs Indefinite

In this image I included the rule of emphasis, definite vs. indefinite. I created a square with a appealing blue color and made a line through that box with the same color just a lower hardness an opacity. I also included a dot on the top right of the square with a slightly higher opacity than the line. I believe I was succesful in this because I made the square really appealing, which was the goal. The square is what i see at first glance.

Emphasis: Color

In this picture I included the rule of ephasis, color. To create this emphasis I made one big black dot to draw the attention to that color, and then made two squiggely lines that were a light pinkish color so they stand out less. I think I was succesful in this because at first glance of this picture I notice the big black dot, which was the goal. Also I think I did a good job of including the other colors and making them apparent in the image, but not letting them overpower the main color, black.

Emphasis: Size


In this image I used the rule of emphasize, size. To create emphasis I made sure I had one big object and two small ones. I believe I was succesful in this because the first object that catches my eye is the big blue circle, which therefor makes my picture succesful. Also I think i was succesful because these colors are very bright and appealing to the eye.
