| strippling | – a shading technique creating dark values by applying a dot pattern close together, light values with dot pattern further apart |
| emphasis | importance given to certain objects or areas in an artwork; color, texture, shape, space, placement, and size can be used to create dominance, contrast, or a focal point; emphasis is a principle of design. |
| focal point | a way to show emphasis in an artwork in which the artist sets an element apart from the others to create a visual center of interest |
