Steady and Dynamic rhythm task

STEADY rhythm task:

For the task in which I was supposed to create rhythm with lines varying only in thickness and distance I made sure to keep it repetitive by making each line the same length, shade, and direction. Through the repetition of these elements I created  a sense of rhythm, meaning there is a pattern the viewer will pick up on and perhaps feel a sense of unity. Because of how simple and repetitive this image is it is easy to tell that the purpose of it is rhythm. This image can be related to a barcode that you see on most products, This could even be a way of communicating rhythm as well because it is the repetition of seeing the image in the viewer's  mind that automatically makes them familiar and seeing a pattern already. In not the pattern itself do they see rhythm, but seeing it again is what creates that effect without them even realizing it. Overall this simple image can still have a somewhat strong impact on a person because of its balance in repeatedness  and abstract touches, as well as their personal connections to it.

DYNAMIC rhythm task:

For this task I was more liberal with what direction, shapes, length, and thickness I used to create the sense of rhythm. I used three of the exact same swirly lines but added a slight tweak by flipping the two on the outside vertically. I included the horizontal lines sectioning off each swirl design for several purposes as well. I placed them so they are all the same length, thickness, direction, and distance apart to create rhythm. They way they are placed also creates a bit of a grid design, giving the viewer the sense of order and unity. These lines fill in the outer space enough to satisfy the viewer's eyes but not attract them too it. This higher concentration of colour unconsciously attracts the viewer's eyes towards the middle where the swirly designs are.
