Juxtaposition

Class Reflection

Juxtaposition is an act of placing things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements.

-Juxtaposition techniques also are used to further develop the storyline or characters - it is applied variously to opposing emotions, abstract concepts, character traits/values, or images
