Form, Repetition, Rhythm, and Pattern

We like to make connections. Repeating shapes within a composition can encourage the viewer’s continued engagement as they jump from similar shape to similar shape. Repetition can also create movement, and rhythm across the canvas. A shape repeated over and over can unify the whole. A shape repeated and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and creates pattern. Once a pattern, individual shapes can be lost again, engulfed in the whole, and sometimes as unnoticed as wall tiles.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
