January 11, 2008, Newsletter Issue #124: You Got Rhythm!

Tip of the Week

Rhythm or motion in visual images is an illusion. You can blur an image (sfumato) or twist or shift the weight of a figure (contrapposto) to give a still image the force of movement. Use line, shape, value and perspective to help the image along. Repetition is also a tool for rhythm. Use planned or random color, lines, value and texture to create patterns. Also regular, irregular, and progressive rhythms of repetition of colors, shapes, and lines create rhythm.
