Principles of Rhythm and Contrast

Principles of Rhythm and Contrast

What is Rhythm?
Rhythm, in art, is a visual beat.For example, the colors of a piece can convey rhythm, by making your eyes travel from one component to another.
For example, look at this image. The green, sharp lines leads your eyes across the picture. 

What is Contrast?
Contrast refers to the arrangement of opposite elements (light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, large vs. small shapes, etc.) in a piece of art.

See how in this picture, the very light leaves of this tree stand out from the dark background.
