EMPHASIS is a principle of art where the artist organizes the elements in order to place greater attention on certain areas, objects, or feelings in the artwork.  The EMPHASIS of an artwork is the center of attention within the artwork.  EMPHASIS is determined by the size, color value, and dominance of an object or shape in the artwork.
