Lines can show pattern and rhythm. Pattern is created through repetition of elements. In art visual rhythm refers to the arrangement of a pattern to create movement

Pattern can be regular or irregular n Regular pattern is created when the elements

Pattern can be regular or irregular n Regular pattern is created when the elements making up the pattern are repeated at regular intervals.

Pattern n Irregular pattern is when the elements making up the pattern are repeated

Pattern n Irregular pattern is when the elements making up the pattern are repeated at irregular intervals

When lines show pattern or rhythm they are unified. Unity is created through repetition.

When lines show pattern or rhythm they are unified. Unity is created through repetition. Unity means some elements within the composition are repeated, look good together and tie the composition together.

Line can show balance. When we talk about balance in art, we mean visual weight on either side of a line drawn down the middle of a composition. Line 1 shows symmetrical balance. Line 2 shows asymmetrical balance. 1 2

Symmetrical balance means the composition shows an identical mirror image on each side of

Symmetrical balance means the composition shows an identical mirror image on each side of the line
