Visual Rhythm
• Visual Rhythm is a Principle of Art. • Visual Rhythm is rhythm you receive
through your eyes rather than your ears. • Visual Rhythm is created by repeated
positive shapes separated by negative spaces.
• Visual Rhythm is all around us.

FIVE TYPES OF RHYTHM
• Regular • Alternating • Random • Flowing • Progressive
![Page 3: Visual Rhythm - ccsesaarts.org · • Flowing rhythms are created by repeating wavy lines and curved shapes. Progressive Rhythm • In progressive rhythm there is a change in motif](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051511/60120878a03d066c2d1099a3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Regular Rhythm • Regular Rhythms and
patterns have identical motifs or visual beats.
• They have an equal amount of space between motifs.
• Parking spaces are laid out in a regular rhythm.
• Bricks on a wall form a regular rhythm.

Alternating Rhythm • Alternating rhythm
and pattern can be achieved by changing motifs at regular intervals.
• Think of the black and white squares on a chess board.
• Here the elephants alternate color and direction.

Random Rhythm • The motif is repeated in
no apparent order. • You can not predict
exactly where the next motif will be.
• Splashes of paint on a wall would create a random rhythm.
• It would be difficult to predict where the next flower would be.

Flowing Rhythm
• Flowing rhythms are created by repeating wavy lines and curved shapes.

Progressive Rhythm
• In progressive rhythm there is a change in motif or visual beat each time it is repeated.

Regular Rhythm
• The motif stays the same and the distance between the motifs stays consistant.

Flowing Rhythm
• The pattern is made up of curved motifs.

Random Rhythm
The spaces between the motifs are not easy to predict.
The motif changes scale in no specific pattern.

Sometimes it is not so clear cut.
• While at first glance it might appear to be an alternating rhythm it is actually a Progressive Rhythm.
• The motifs are constantly changing.

Look around the room and see if you can find some visual rhythms.
• What type of rhythms do the desks create?
• What type of rhythm do the windows create?
• What type of rhythm do you see in the tile floor?
• What type of rhythm do you see in the drapes?

Create your own examples of the different types of visual rhythm.
• On the paper hand out draw three examples for each to the five types of visual rhythm.
• REGULAR • ALTERNATING • RANDOM • FLOWING • PROGRESSIVE
