[typography font=”Cantarell” size=”24″ size_format=”px”]  Visual Rhythms are the most ignored yet inherently intriguing of all our composing generators.  Just as in music we have the waltz, tango, rhumba and many more rhymic patterns, in painting we have flowing rhythms, staccato rhythms and even a “bassline”  Any painting becomes richer when the artist catches the rhythm of the subject and allows it to be central to the communication of the work..  [/typography]
