Pictorial composition and the critical judgment of pictures; a handbook for students and lovers of art . two spaces of equal size, importance maybe given to one of them by increasing its light;by using leading lines toward it, by placing anaccent upon it, by creating a gradation in it. Spots often become the equivalent of lines intheir attractive value. A series of oppositional lines has more pic-turesqueness than the tangent, its equivalent. A gradation may have the equivalent attrac-tion of an object. A line in its continuity is more attractive thana succession of isolated objects. The attractive value of an object in the scaleof balance may be weakened by moving it towardthe centre or extending the picture on that side. Motion toward, either in intention or by action,is equivalent to balancing weight in that space ofthe picture to which the action is directed. Light is increased by deepening contiguoustones; dark, by heightening contiguous tones. A still-life may be constructed on the samelines as any form on the vertical plane and manyof the perspective plane of composition. [174] IT. Hillside Graded Light Upon Surfaces. Cloud Shadows
