Rhythm and Balance

Alternating rhythm - A rhythm that consists of successive patterns in which the same elements reappear in a regular order. The motifs alternate consistently with one another to produce a regular (and anticipated) sequence
Asymmetrical balance - A rhythm that consists of successive patterns in which the same elements reappear in a regular order. The motifs alternate consistently with one another to produce a regular (and anticipated) sequence
Balance by eye direction – connecting figures through the line of their gaze, balancing the piece
Balance by pattern or texture – countering a pattern or texture with it’s visual opposite
Balance by value and color – contrasting values and colors to balance the piece out
Crystallographic balance - Balance with equal emphasis over an entire two-dimensional surface so that there is always the same visual weight or attraction wherever you may look
