Harmony

principles of design: rhythm

Repetition 
Gradation
This week in Interior Design we learned about rhythm. There are three main types of rhythm; they include repetition (to attain rhythm and can be achieved by repeating any of the elements of design {line, color, texture, patter, light, scale, and proportion} or other design concepts in an organized and regular way); radiation (balance around a central point. dining chairs around the center of a table, or tree branches around a tree trunk); and graduation (the use of a                                                          change in size of objects form large                                                           to small or a change in color from                             light to dark).

Oh My Gawd #7

Curved Line-
The feeling a curved line gives a feeling of calm, relaxed, familiar sense of safety. This is shown by the lights, pictures, night stands, pillows, and the chair.

Vertical line-
The vertical line produces a feeling of loftiness and spirituality. In this picture it is shown by the mirror, stairs, vertical baskets and wall decorations, and mostly the opening to the stairwell.

Horizontal line- 
The feeling produced by a horizontal line is rest and repose. In this olioboard example, it is shown by the counter tops, chair, picture, television, and window opening. 

Diagonal line- 
The diagonal line produces a feeling of movement and direction. This is shown in the staircase, and the floor panels.
