61. EMPHASIS
Emphasis (also called focal point) is where the focus is concentrated through design principles or meaning. It makes an element or object in a work stand out. To use emphasis in an artwork is to attract the viewer's eyes to a place of special importance in an artwork.

Symmetrical (or formal) balance is when both sides of an artwork, if split down the middle, appear to be the same.
