Emphasis Used to make certain parts of an Artwork stand out. it creates the center of interest or focal point. It is the place in which an Artist draws your eye to first. Movement How the eye moves through the composition; leading the attention of the viewer from one aspect of the work to another. Can create the illusion of action. Pattern The repetition of specific visual elements such as a unit of shape or form. A method used to organize surfaces in a consistent regular manner.
