Rhythm in Art

Rhythm in art is defined by Launching the Imagination as "a sense of movement that is created by repetition of multiple units in a deliberate pattern" (p.83). This can be related to the rhythm in music, with similar deliberate patterns that tell a story. The only difference is that rhythm in art is seen with the eyes. I am very attracted to art that conveys rhythm. An example from http://www.writedesignonline.com/resources/design/rules/rhythm-pattern.html#regular, shows how certain shapes are repeated with colors that create a sense of movement off of the page.
 

Rhythm can be used in order to satisfy our need to see things in order. In this painting by Grant Wood, the brain creates order from the different shapes which have been repeated multiple times. http://www.writedesignonline.com/resources/design/rules/rhythm-pattern.html#regular
