As noted in the definition, it can be likened to rhythm in music, and can be said to be a "patterened repitition" What do you think? Is rhythm a "visual beat?" (noun) - Rhythm is a principle of art that's difficult to summarize in words. Assuming that you've picked up on a rhythm in music before, take what you heard with your ears and try to translate that to something you'd see with your eyes. Rhythm, in art, is a visual beat. A pattern has rhythm, but not all rhythm is patterned. For example, the colors of a piece can convey rhythm, by making your eyes travel from one component to another. Lines can produce rhythm by implying movement. Forms, too, can cause rhythm by the ways in which they're placed one next to the other. it's sometimes easier to comprehend rhythm in just about anything other than the visual arts, but once understood, heightened sensitivity to this aspect can animate design and art making it visually interactive. "Rhythm of the Hills" by Judy Neale "Rhythm Joie De Vivre" by Robert Delaunay This very graphic and design-oriented painting uses repeated circles, half-circles, joined shapes and contrasting colors to create movement. "Although trained in fine arts in Paris, Delaunay worked in set design before beginning his painting career in 1905. He found his initial influences in the Neo-Impressionists, but gradually moved on to join Der Blaue Reiter in 1911. His Paris cityscapes began to take on a distinctive style that studied the effect of contrasting color patterning. Delaunay's unique method spurred friend and poet, Guillaume Apollinaire, to place his paintings in a new movement, which he called Orphism." - World Wide Art Resources Tamara De Limpicka's "The Model" This piece which is a very graphically-designed painting, in which the raised right arm drives the eyes to the right side of the model's torso; the focal point of the right breast then captures the viewer's attention, and directs it with a "pointer"... a triangular fold in the model's garment pulling the viewer to the left arm of the figure. The curve of the left arm uses the multiple pointers of the model's fingers to direct the eye strongly to the left into the garment's downward-sweeping folds, and down the highlighted leg. As if that were not enough to invest the piece with rhythm, the artist then uses a strong graphical "s" shape in the background to reinforce the motion using the model's shadow to create a feeling of movement as part of the pattern in the background. The overall positioning of the figure creates visual torque, creating a feeling of anticipated movement adding to the dynamicism of the design Welcome to DesignerNet [37]Sign Up or [38]Sign In About [39]Jane Ann Nelson [40]Jane Ann Nelson created this [41]Ning Network.
