# How visual art is constructed

Every artistic work has a focal point that directs the audience's eyes.

- It is usually with mostly straight lines, but can be curved lines or approximate triangles.

With [cameras](engineering-camera.md), the effort is within the specific timing and placement of the photographer, combined with post-production effects.

All the focus of the work is centered on the focal point.

- Whether it's a photograph or a painting, that center will be what everyone notices as their eyes take in the experience.
