Rhythm and Movement

Rhythm and Movement	Visual rhythms, like rhythms in music, are created by repeating elements in a regular beat or order. Several types of rhythms are commonly used in visual art.	Visual rhythms can be very simple, as in a regular one-beat rhythm. An example might be a series of identical circles repeated one after another.
Do you sense rhythm and movement in this two-dimensional work?		An. alternating rhythm is like a regular series of visual changes - circle-square, circle-square, circle-square and so on.
		A progressive rhythm is built on regular changes in a repeated element. An example would be a series of squares, each slightly larger than the next.
		A flowing rhythm has a graceful path of repeated movements with no sudden changes. In a jazzy rhythm, the repeated elements are varied in complicated pat- terns and combined with unexpected elements.
Not all of the visual movements in an artwork are rhythmic. Sometimes a work has a dominant path of movement that adds to a mood. The sense of movement may come from a tall, vertical form reaching upward. Sometimes there is a path of motion leading to a center of interest. Even the absence of motion can be expressed. For example, a quiet, still, calm feeling may come from the use of many horizontal lines or forms.
Can you give examples of visual rhythms in nature, everyday life or dance?
