HW5- Rhythm

(Vincent van Gogh, Starry Night, June 1889)

When I read about rhythm, I instantly thought of van Gogh's Starry Night because of the lines that are throughout his piece. It all flows with the sky and the lines used. Some show horizontal, vertical, and diagonal, but it all comes out smoothly. You can tell where the movement is going because of the line movement of the lines. The sky is going left to right across the page because the lines show a horizontal composition. While the village and tower is going up and down across the page because the lines are vertical.
