Emphasis

=Line=

The artist of this Kiwebe mask used Line to emphasize the mouth. No matter where you look on this sculpture lines lead you to the mouth. Lines radiating from the fore head direct your eyes either all the way behind the eyes and down to the very edge of the lips or between the eyes to the lips. Even lines on the neck point diagonally up to the mouth.

=Shape=

Kandinsky used shape to emphasize particular areas of his painting. He used several triangles to guy your eyes to where he wanted you to look. For example, the large green and orange triangle is telling you to look at the semi-circle pattern. The tan, red and blue triangle AND the tan and sky blue triangle are ALSO pointing you to the semi-circle area. In case your eyes get lost he has shapes point to those triangles. Like the white, orange and violet sickle shape and the white and orange triangle. These shapes take your eyes to the triangle that point to the semi-circle area.

=Value=

Caravaggio used value to emphasize the bearded man in the black hat and cloak. It is hard to see, however, if you look closely he is pointing to himself. The highlight, from the sun shining in through the window, is pointing to this man like an arrow of accusation. The contrast of the dark room and the bright light make this very defined. In addition, just below this line, Caravaggio highlighted two men hands that are pointing to this accused man.

=Texture= The artist of this piece used texture from the background to emphasize the shape of this sculpture piece. The contrast between the corrugated steal background and the polished steal sculpture make the outline of the form very defined. The sun being at and extreme angle also helps to make the contrast in texture more evident. The sculpture is glowing with reflected light, while the texture of the steal creates dark vertical shadows behind mustard yellow glow.
