16. De La Tour uses the Element of Value to give Emphasis to the newborn baby in the picture. He is using Contrast to draw our eye to that spot. The light value is a Contrast to the darker values. Our eye is moved to the part in the picture which is most different from the other parts of the picture. In this case, the spot we are drawn to is where the Value is the lightest. The eye is immediately drawn to the Value which is most different. In this example, it’s where the Value is the lightest. That is where the Emphasis is. EXCELLENT WORK!

18. Now you’ve learned how Value can give Emphasis to a part in a picture and produce Contrast The Emphasis is on the white box!
