13.0 Each sequence with it’s own rhythm (advanced)

1. 

   The above composition is broken down into two color sequences seen below: black/grayish tones and white.

   Multiple rhythms can and do occupy art and design. Each sequence can produce it’s own pattern and pacing. When combined with other sequences that produce their own pattern and pacing, a layering of rhythms becomes the newly achieved net affect. Unity become a factor in how sequences engage with each other, whether intentionally or reflexively. Negative space or figure/ground may become even more robust or more of a challenge. (Tip: to get a better sense as to the movement or balance of figure/ground and whether rhythm is well-engaged, view your work upside down.)

Rhythm of black/grayish strokes

Rhythm of white and whitish strokes

Vermeer’s Lady in Blue Reading is broken down into two color sequences: blueish and brownish. An additional sequence reveals the resulting negative space when both sequences are combined.

Death of the Great Bull Market is broken down into two color sequences: red and black. An additional sequence reveals the resulting negative space when both sequences are combined.
