What effect can occur by placing a heavy object very close to the frame in an artwork?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can pull the composition toward the edge
Visual balance depends on both an element’s weight and its position. A heavy object placed close to the frame has strong edge presence and can create a directional pull toward that side, making the composition feel unstable unless another weight counteracts it. Option A is correct. It does not automatically create centre balance, disappear, or become unaffected by the frame.
