Center of Interest-Second and Third Grade
The center of interest is the part of the art that we find most interesting when we look at a work of art for the first time. It attracts our mind, which leads our eye to that part of the art.
The center of interest is usually the most important part of a work of art.
Examples are faces, humans and animals, letters, numbers, and objects. When we scan an image for the first time, our attention is naturally drawn to these items.
Think of the Center of interest as the main idea. Other parts of the art are the details that support the main idea. Look at the collage below. What is the center of interest? Does the center of interest have to be in the center of the artwork?
What in your art will the center of interest? What details will support your most important idea?
