Sample Question 1
What is rhythm?

Two or more different motifs may be changing, 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 changed. This is essentially a regular rhythm that has more complex motifs, or meta-motifs.

A visual tempo or beat that is also called movement. It is when motifs or elements are repeated, alternated, or otherwise arranged. The intervals between them or how they overlap can create a sense of movement.

Groupings of similar motifs or elements that repeat with no regularity

Created by a series of elements, often identical or similar, that are placed at regular or similar intervals, such as in grids. Same visual beat and amount of space is used.

Sample Question 2
What is regular rhythm?

Created by a series of elements, often identical or similar, that are placed at constant or similar intervals, such as in grids. These rhythms, if overused, can be monotonous. The same visual beats and amount of space is used.

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. This is essentially a regular rhythm that has more complex motifs, or meta-motifs.

Created by undulating elements and intervals, bending and curving motifs and spaces. It can naturally be seen in streams and waterways, beaches and waves, sand dunes and glaciers, rolling hills and wind-blown grasses.

Each time a motif repeats it changes a little, transforming and translating in a steady sequence - the motif progresses from one thing to another.

Sample Question 3
What is alternating rhythm?

Created by a series of elements, often identical or similar, that are placed at constant or similar intervals, such as in grids.

Groupings of similar motifs or elements that repeat with no regularity.

Two or more different motifs may be changing, 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 changing. Essentially a regular rhythm that has more complex motifs, or meta-motifs. The added variety can help lessen the monotony.
