Looking at Art ~~ Quilt in Perspectives
Rhythm
Artists create visual rhythm in art like musician do. A visual rhythm makes one think of the same rhythm you hear when one listens to music. Visual rhythm is created when artists use patterns and the elements of art. |
Unity
Art that has a look of things fitting well together is said to be unified. As one of the principle of art, unity is the feeling that everything in the art works well together and appears to sings in uniform. Elements of art, like shape and color used in repetitious way create unity. |
Variety
The last principle of art is variety. When an art is complete, it has variety. Artist creates variety in an art by making something look different from the rest of the artwork. Artist use variety to make the viewer look at a certain aspect of the art that makes it interesting. |
