Value as Emphasis (16)

Value Emphasis
-when a light and dark contrast is used to create a focal point within a composition
-a visual emphasis or "starting point" is often desired
-a thematically important character or feature can be visually empnasized by value contrast

-the white/bright white against the dark background instantly attracts the viewer's eye which makes the focal point, in the piece, an obvious one
