Whether it’s mixed in with a drawing, an advertisement or a simple composition contrast is an amazing way to bringing your art to life while balancing out the colors in your piece. The artwork found on the cooper Hewitt collection shows contrast in many of its art pieces while the artist uses them for different reasons. Contrast was used in order for figure ground to be triggered or to bring a drawing of a room to life. The light and dark in the compositions create a focal point by allowing certain areas of the work to pop out.
