Exercise - Rhythms and patterns

1) Rhythms - to do with movement (of the eye) across a picture

• Repetition is a necessary ingredient but this alone does not guarantee a sense of rhythm.
• Repetition is a feature of the way the eye scans the picture as much as of the repetition.
• Rhythm produces considerable strength in an image. It has momentum and a sense of continuation. Once the eye has recoginzed the repetition, the viewer assumes that the repetition will continue beyond the frame.
  

I chose an image above to represent rhythm because the flowers are moving along with the wind blowing. When looking at the image, my eye is moving following the stem and along with the movement of the wind.

2) Pattern - static and to do with area


This image was taken at a market. This stall sell fruits and this basket full of orange makes it so "orange"!
I photoshop one of the orange to make it stand out and look more interrupted or breaking the pattern.
