Question

The principle of emphasis is utilized in accentuating and drawing the viewer's attention to particular content within a work of art. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

That is precisely the definition of emphasis. In art, emphasis consists of an object or content that draws attention to itself, becoming a focal point, a dominant element. In order to do so, the other elements (in the picture, photo, etc.) are minimized or toned down. An example of emphasis can be found in Francisco Goya's painting "The Shootings of May Third 1808", where the focal point is much brighter than the other elements.
