Dominance and subordination is a technique by which an artist can create emphasis, or a focal point, within a composition. Conduct research to
explore any painting by a well-known artist (such as the murals of Gustav Klimt) and describe how the artist used the idea of dominance and
submission in the composition. Then, create a painting using these principles. Take a picture of your painting, insert it along with your response,
and describe your painting.

Three components of art: color, cost, and composition, help formulate emphasis through variation. Using texture in only one point or putting a light on something in an unless dark environment will draw the concentration of the observer. Let's take a more intimate glance a how color generates emphasis.

Answer: I conducted online research to find an example of the painting Farm Garden with Sunflowers by the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt.

Explanation:

In this painting, Klimt used the technique of dominance and subordination by setting the yellow sunflowers (as dominant figures) in contrast against an almost uniform green (subordinate) background. Another way that the sunflowers dominate is by size and position. The sunflowers are the largest single elements in the image, and they are at the top of the frame. There are other flowers, in white bunches and orange colors, set on the same background to relieve the (otherwise) monotonous green color. However, these are relatively smaller flowers, and they are set lower down in the image. The overall effect draws the viewer’s eye first to the dominant sunflowers, and then to the other elements. The green background is completely subordinated, although it occupies the largest space in the composition.
