Rhythm

















  1. What kind of lines can communicate motion? Stability? Energy?

    Swelling, shrinking, diagonal, and curved lines imply motion. Horizontal lines suggest stability while Calligraphic lines add energy to a drawing or design.

  2. Why are human beings able to see "implied" lines?

    Humans have the natural inclination to seek visual unity. Our brains try to put together pieces of the drawing together.

  3. How might a graphic designer use lines differently than a fine artist?

    Fine artists use a variance of lines to show the illusion of depth and space while a graphic designer may use lines to convey a message.

  4. How is visual rhythm different than musical rhythm?

    Musical rhythm uses sound while visual rhythm uses space, direction, patterns, repetition, and color.

  5. What must be present for rhythm to exist?

    Repetition
