Pattern Rhythm (Movement) Balance Proportion Variety Emphasis Harmony And Unity The Principles of Art are:
So let’s look at these two PRINCIPLES of ART: pattern and Rhythm
The unit that repeats is called a MOTIF.
This motif is present three times in this pattern.
This motif is present three times in this pattern.
This circle is a MOTIF in this PATTERN.
The PATTERN here is twelve lights. The MODULE is one light. The light repeats to form a PATTERN.
RHYTHM is a PATTERN that shows MOVEMENT. The flow of leaves from the top of the picture to the bottom is a RHYTHM. by M C Escher
The module of this rhythm is one leaf- -even though each leaf is different! Your eyes follow the trail of leaves from the small ones at the top to the large ones at the bottom. by M C Escher
A RANDOM PATTERN has motifs or modules which repeat in no apparent order. The repeating module here is one rock. To remember a RANDOM PATTERN, think RANDOM ROCKS.
A REGULAR PATTERN has identical motifs or modules that repeat in identical spaces. The repeating motif on this quilt is one square. They are evenly spaced in a grid. To remember REGULAR PATTERN, think REGULAR GRID.
An ALTERNATING PATTERN has two or more different motifs that repeat regularly. The repeating motifs in this checkerboard are black squares and white squares. To remember alternating patterns, think ALTERNATING CHECKERBOARD.
A FLOWING RHYTHM has a repetition of wavy lines. The repeating motif in this painting is a strand of hair. To remember FLOWING RHYTHM, think FLOWING HAIR.
A PROGRESSIVE RHYTHM has motifs which change each time they are repeated. In this print by Dutch artist, M C Escher, the motif changes from a bird to a ship to a fish. To remember PROGRESSIVE RHYTHM, think of how PROGRESSIVE M C ESCHER was.
Now it is your turn… Watch the short video on how to create pastel stencils. Use blank paper, scissors, and pastels to create your own art piece that shows PATTERN and RHYTHM. PLEASE HELP CLEAN UP AT THE END OF YOUR ART TIME! Pastels should fit neatly back in the boxes, Desks should be pastel-free and wiped, And all art pieces should go in your orange art portfolios.
