Since I have chosen two artworks I have decided to just analyze the one I like the most. I have chosen Fisherman Drawing Nets, done by Walter Battiss. In Fisherman Drawing Nets, Walter Battiss achieves movement through the use of line. When one looks at the painting their eye moves side to side with the lines of the "net" in the painting. The viewers eyes follow the swaying of the nets. Battiss also achieves emphasis through the use of color. The contrast between the colorful nets and the black silhouette create much emphasis and focuses the viewers eye more on the net.
Allie, you have mentioned some of the more important principles and elements used in this painting. If possible, I'd like to challenge you to notice a few more connections.
