Rhythm By Gradation • Rhythm created by a gradual change in size or color. • Paint on wall changes gradually in value.
Rhythm By Radiation • Rhythm created by identical objects coming from a central axis. • Tall Grasses “radiate” from the center of the vase on this bathroom vanity.
Rhythm By Opposition • Rhythm created by lines at right angles or contrasting colors. • Contrasting black and white tiles and the lines intersecting at right angles.
