“Wow! That painting is crazy! Its so busy!” Color here, a dash of newspaper there, and a few random objects later, we have created a masterpiece. I personally love paintings and other artwork that are so busy. A good busy painting can force your eyes everywhere allowing you to look at the whole picture. Another contradicting quality of a good painting can be that in all the, and artist is able to create a central point that your eyes are drawn too, and then from there, move around to observe more. There are several techniques an artist can use to create something powerful in an artwork full of everything. One method is to play with the value of objects. Just like as if it were a performer on stage, the high contrast of surrounding darkness makes the person or object in the light stand out more, drawing your eye to it. Placement of objects can also speak to the viewer. In a piece of 3 dimensional art such as an installation, placement can be very important because, as viewers, we connect the object to things around it. We can analyze things like proximity, size variation, color variation, and how it is oriented. The same can be in a painting. Wherever there should be an emphasis, an artist can place clues that draw us there, for example, he can put all other objects facing his main subjects. Artists fuse together many methods of creating emphasis in paintings. Although playing with value and placement has proven successful in the past, creating new ways to draw viewers in shows the depth of an artist’s work. Creating emphasis is a technique that gives 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional art a starting point, all that is needed to get a intrigued in the work and is a very important element used in art and design.
