\"8171459235_6ae81beb18_o\"<\/a>I was trying to find a\u00a0piece that kind of brought together all the various approaches that we talked about this week. Finding something that specific is a little tough, but this piece by Slovenian artist, Tina\u00a0Me\u017eek<\/a>\u00a0hits on a number of approaches to create a really dramatic focal on her\u00a0necklace.<\/p>\n

Obviously size is helping to make the focal bead stand out, but also those lines on the gold layer of the frame all move\u00a0inward, drawing the eye that direction. The red against black is a classic dramatic color combination as well, and that black is so dark, it can work like negative space, especially if worn on dark clothing. So you see, many approaches can be brought together to heighten the drama when that is what you are after.<\/p>\n

If this subject has\u00a0piqued your interest , you can get further ideas by simply keeping an eye on how other people have used contrast, composition, negative space, line, etc. to bring about some really dramatic focal points.<\/p>\n
