Emphasis

==

=Emphasis is way of bringing dominance and subordination into a design or painting. Major objects, shapes, or colors may dominate a picture by taking up more space or by being heavier in volume or by being darker in color than the subordinate objects, shapes and colors. There must be balance between the dominant and subordinate elements. =



=Challenge:= =There are many different places on the BBA campus that can be considered focal points that use the principles of design EMPHASIS. Select one of them and photograph it. Post your image to your e-portfolio and below it answer the following question: How did the architect(s) use line, shape, texture, color or size to create emphasis. Consider the meaning of your particular choice of focal point: Is some message or meaning communicated by designing the building in this way?=
