Week Three: Emphasis and Focal Point~

Contrast~


Chinese Artists Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi, and Zhang An, 2006, oil on canvas , Famous People Painting - Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante

In this painting, the focal point is the round red table near the center. The painting is rather dark, and the red table stands out amongst the other colors being used. There are other spots where red is being used, but it dominates here because of the large amount of it in the one area. This area of high contrast is what grabs the eye first, separating it from the rest of the painting.
