What is rhythm? Rhythm is a principal of design that refers to ways of combining elements to produce the appearance of movement in artwork. It may be achieved through repetition, alteration or progression of an element.
*A visual beat *A pattern has rhythm, but not all rhythm is patterned. Pages 178-183 in The Visual Experience You've Got to Have Rhythm Keynote Drawing out a plan |
Create an abstract drawing that exemplifies the principal of rhythm. By using stencils, line, and color you will also be portraying an emotion of your choice.
Step 1: Choose an emotion that you want to portray through your drawing. Step 2: Create at least 3 stencils of abstract shapes. A variety of shapes and sizes is a good thing. Step 3: Use your stencils to create your abstract drawing. Step 4: Choose a color scheme that will help aid in communicating the emotion. Limit your color choice so the message stays focused. Step 5: On the back of your work write which emotion you chose and explain, in a few sentences, how you communicated this emotion and how you created rhythm. Tips to keep in mind *Rotate your stencils to add variety. *Use multiple different media to make interesting textures. *Pay close attention to how color and line can create different moods and feelings. *Curved lines and cool colors tend to create a calm effect. *Sharp angles and warm colors feel more exciting.
