Image Essay # 4

For this image essay, I will talk about focal point. The focal point of an image is a singular point or area of points that attract the most attention; having the most visual weight in a composition. The focal point draws the viewer’s eye to the object or image that the person who is creating the image has created. In the image that I have found, the focal point of the image is pretty easy to find. The focal point is pretty much directly in the center of the image. The work seems to be a painting and the object in the center is sphere shaped and seems to be on to of whatever is in the background of the image. The background seems to be composed of brush strokes of different colors. The colors that are mainly used in the image are orange, yellow, green, and black. All of the colors in the background used in the brush strokes seem to merge into the center of the image. That is exactly where the sphere is and the brush strokes help move the viewer’s eyes to the center. The flow of the brush strokes helps a great deal to get the viewer to the center of the image.
