Blog assignment 5 "Emphasis"

Heliogabal by Anselm Kiefer in 1974. Emphasis is a principle of art which occurs any time an element of a piece is given dominance by the artist. In other words, the artist makes part of the work stand out, in order to draw the viewer's eye there first. I think the first focal pint is the sun in the middle but then your eyes move to the word in the back drop. there is even times when my eyes move to the cloud right above the sun.
