As one looks at this sculpture " Madonna and Child", it is obvious to see the inspiration behind the
sculpture. Emphasis is placed on baby Jesus by the way the virgin Mary carefully holds him. The question of
is emphasis given to virgin Mary because the expression on her face seems like a focal point, or is emphasis
placed on baby jesus because of the peaceful and innocent look on his face? The sculptor potrays unity in the
sculpture by having the virgin Mary carry baby Jesus in her arms. Both the virgin Mary and baby Jesus are
place in asymmertical balance because of the scale of Mary, in comprison to the scale of Jesus. Homer's
"Breezing Up a Fair wind" exhibits asymmetrical balance. There are various elements in the painting that
contributes to this balance. The boat in the forground is has a larger scale in comparison to the boat in the
background. Homer paints the waves of the sea in a rythmic pattern and that, as well as the tilt of the boat
constitutes as being the focal point of the painting.

Gemi, I hope you don't mind that I call you that! It seems so right for you. If you don't like it just tell me. Anyway, this essay. I really need you to write your essays with a specific structure. They must have a thesis, a body, and a conclusion. Even if it is written in poetic form. If you need help with this go to the writing center at school. What is Emphasis? What is focal point? What is Unity? What is balance? If the essay uses the terms they must be defined. That is part of demonstrating knowledge and it helps to facilitate appropriate usage. Please help yourself by conforming to this.
This essay also asks the questions about emphasis and then doesn't answer it.
