| The emphasis in
"Red Winged Blackbird" is the bird, especially the red and yellow on
its wing. The emphasis is given using many of the elements
and
principles of design. The colour red is only used on the bird
and
the
yellow on its wing is more intense then elsewhere in the work.
The
bird is where the use of line and texture is most detailed.
The birds
body is the darkest value in the piece and the yellow on its wing is
the lightest. This gives it a lot of contrast. The bird is a large
positive space in against the backdrop of a large negative space.
In
proportion to the work it is the largest object. The movement
of
the
piece circles the eye back to bird. The red winged blackbird
is
the clear focal point. |
