The objects or events being depicted in a piece of art
Principle of arts and the last answer is the principle of design.
Leonard Da Vinci used a technique in <em>The Last Supper </em>called 'one point perspective'. In this technique all of the lines presented in the painting all meet at one specific place. Doing this he lures the viewers sight to this one place called "the vanishing point." Da Vinci placed this in the center of Christ's right eyes, leading the viewers to recognize the figure of Christ's importance in the painting.
The <em>actors position</em> is very important for onstage performance, as it must accurately follow all the directions given by the play, and must correspond to what the play wants.
hope this helps
