Without advanced shutter speed on a camera, a moving object will appear blurry. A blurred figure is assumed to show motion because we constantly see things like cars zooming past us on the highway, consequently only looking like a big colored blur.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Because the trees at the bottom overlap the water, and the farther away trees overlap the mountain, we can get a sense that the mountains are the farthest back and the trees at the bottom of the painting are the closest.</span></div>mkallstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997275246439683268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626153492573872002.post-82702826273976160852011-05-06T14:18:00.000-07:002011-05-06T14:18:42.118-07:0035) Scale Confusion<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Purposefully changing the scale of objects to add interest or intrigue is scale confusion.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We see the primary focal point (the yellow "SEPT. 11, 2001") first due to its color contrast against the black background, and is made so because of the story's importance. The secondary focal point is the "PEOPLE Weekly" since that's the name of the magazine, obviously important for sales. The tertiary focal point is the background picture of the Wold Trade Center towers in September 11th. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">All of the soldiers are gesturing towards or pointing to the one man on the ground, causing him to be the resulting focal point. </span></div>mkallstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997275246439683268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626153492573872002.post-20388464658789055542011-05-06T13:47:00.000-07:002011-05-06T13:47:51.119-07:0029) Emphasis by Isolation<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The eye's attention is naturally drawn to isolated objects. When there is a mass of objects placed together and one lone object placed elsewhere, it's almost impossible not to look at the isolated object.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.fanboy.com/archive-images/ChristinasWorld.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="http://www.fanboy.com/archive-images/ChristinasWorld.jpg" border="0" height="212" src="http://www.fanboy.com/archive-images/ChristinasWorld.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><img border="0" height="241" src="http://kcfac.kilgore.edu/aafh/Kliban.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The woman in the first image, and the cat ahead of the rest in the second are both isolated from the bulk of objects in the scene, and are therefore emphasized. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since the man dressed in brown in front of the table seems a great deal smaller than the rest of the men and objects in the painting, the smaller man is emphasized. There is even a value contrast even further emphasizing him as he is wearing a dark color as opposed to all of the white and lighter colors throughout the rest of the painting. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It may not be a mirror image, but there is still a balanced feeling.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="http://www.steveartgallery.se/upload1/file-admin/images/new21/Felix%20Vallotton-549668.jpg" height="233" src="http://www.steveartgallery.se/upload1/file-admin/images/new21/Felix%20Vallotton-549668.jpg" width="320" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While there seems to be more objects and a heavier weight on the left side of the room, the light value of the woman's skirt on the right side of the room aids in providing an asymmetrical balance.</span></div>mkallstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997275246439683268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626153492573872002.post-22934405855828277952011-05-05T14:03:00.000-07:002011-05-05T14:03:43.599-07:0024) Symmetrical Balance<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In this form of balance, similar shapes are replicated on either side of a vertical axis in the same positions. In essence, it's a mirror image.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="http://yourdecoratinghotline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/art-white-pewtersage-blogspot.jpg" height="212" src="http://yourdecoratinghotline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/art-white-pewtersage-blogspot.jpg" width="320" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This room is almost exactly the same on one side as it is on the other. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>mkallstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997275246439683268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626153492573872002.post-90203997739493947002011-05-05T13:57:00.000-07:002011-05-05T13:57:10.327-07:0016) Value as Emphasis<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">An emphasis or focal point can be created through the use of light and dark values. Sometimes the majority of an image will be dark with one very light object, drawing the eye's attention to that lighter object.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/thumbnail/67417/1/St-Roch-Asking-The-Virgin-Mary-To-Heal-Victims-Of-The-Plague-1780.jpg" height="320" src="http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/thumbnail/67417/1/St-Roch-Asking-The-Virgin-Mary-To-Heal-Victims-Of-The-Plague-1780.jpg" width="234" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Throughout the painting there are mostly darker, dull colors. However, Mary in the top left hand corner is illuminated by a bright yellow burst behind her, and more brightly colors clothes, drawing the eye's attention straight to her and her Son. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>mkallstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997275246439683268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626153492573872002.post-9909545718789210162011-05-05T13:47:00.000-07:002011-05-05T13:47:07.316-07:0015) Value as Pattern<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Value can be used to express pattern with either contrasting or similar values. Light and dark create some sort of repeated theme.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLlOxHBIHybd-WoPG1kR6E-NneagVDmQwuAyqOyBB8HhlgKNuIkzzXPtmcfI6wPQ5I3qBzeJIYA3I1NUKoKjdo52-7R-IqtApClrtUaraWbnvK2fCCwHCYkJdwKQS8TfsO3VscHYwsQgk/s1600/valuestudy11.jpg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLlOxHBIHybd-WoPG1kR6E-NneagVDmQwuAyqOyBB8HhlgKNuIkzzXPtmcfI6wPQ5I3qBzeJIYA3I1NUKoKjdo52-7R-IqtApClrtUaraWbnvK2fCCwHCYkJdwKQS8TfsO3VscHYwsQgk/s1600/valuestudy11.jpg" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Here, the different levels get progressively darker as they descend, blending with a different square each time.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
