4. Value
• Value is the lightness or darkness
of a color.
• You can obtain different values by
adding black or white to a color.
• A light color is called a tint of
the original hue. For example,
pink is a tint of red.
• To make a color darker in
value, black is added. A dark
color is called a shade of the
original hue. Maroon is a shade
of red.
5. Value –the relative luminosity
(light and dark of a color, or gray)
Thomas Green
6. Repetition refers to one object repeated;
Rhythm is a combination of elements
repeated, but with variation
Pattern is a combination of objects or shapes
repeated in a recurring and regular
arrangement;
7. Repetition, Rhythm and Pattern.
Repeating art elements in regular or
cyclical fashion can create interest,
movement, and/or harmony and unity.
Rhythms can be random, regular,
alternating, flowing, and progressive.
Classes of pattern include mosaics,
lattices, spirals, meanders, waves,
symmetry and fractals, among others.
8. REPETITION-Repeated use of a shape, color, or other
art element or design in a work can help unify different
parts into a whole. The repetition might be limited to
only an instance or two: not enough to create a pattern
or rhythm, but enough to cause a visual echo and
reinforce or accent certain aspects of the work.
9. Rhythm
When motifs or elements are repeated, alternated, or
otherwise arranged, the intervals between them or how
they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of
movement. In visual rhythm, design motifs become the
beats. Rhythms can be broadly categorized as random,
regular, alternating, flowing, and progressive.
10. Repetition is created when a similar line, shape, or color is repeated in a
composition
11. Repetition is created when a similar line, shape, or color is repeated in a
composition
• REPETITION OCCURS IN ALL FORMS OF RHYTHM AND PATTERNS. FOR
REPETITION TO OCCUR, ONE OF THE ELEMENTS NEEDS TO BE REPEATED
AT LEAST ONE TIME, GIVING A TOTAL OF 2 CHARACTERS WITHIN THE
COMPOSITION.
28. Alternating Rhythm-Two or more different motifs may be alternated, such as
the black and red squares in a checkerboard; a single motif might be flipped,
mirrored or rotated every so many iterations; or the placement or spacing
between motifs can be alternated.
