Rhythm/Movement

The use of reoccurring elements to direct the movement of the eye in the artwork.

Photographic Examples:

Sketches:

The top picture was taken inside the Vatican, while the one on the bottom was taken in Venice. They both represent rhythm because they flow nicely with the other design elements surrounding the art work. For example in the top picture the curved dome where the statue is placed is a repetitive sequence of the same dome holding other statues. In the bottom picture is a sort of staircase that leads to the water canals in Venice. The fluidity of the staircase works well next to the flowing water. Making it a good combination of architecture and nature complimenting each other.
