Movement and Rhythm
Movement: an act of changing physical location or position or of having this changed
Rhythm: strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound
In art they are the way your eyes move throughout a picture, they are created by repetition of elements. If the elements used are similar then the picture will flow easily but if they are not it will create a troubling image.
Types of Movement:
Anticipated Movement: When a body is positioned in a unstable way we know from experience a movement will occur.
Fuzzy Outlines: When pictures are blurry we perceive them as to having movement just as when things pass at us at high speeds.
Multiple Image: Showing overlapping images shows movement as we consider something has moved through different positions.
Optical Movement: When the eye is forced to move around the picture in order to see the different elements.
Optical Illusions: Some optical illusions repeating geometric figures will force your eyes to produce motion where there is no motion.
Types of Rhythm:
Controlled: When spaces between shapes are even and objects are placed on vertical or horizontal lines and colors are analogous.
Dynamic: When using diagonal lines, various patches of color and separation between shapes.
Progressive: When showing a sequence of forms through a progression of steps.
Flowing: When giving off a sense of movement and a more organic nature.
