All of the folds and panels of this dancer's costume swirl around the figure in diagonal directions. The alternating
patterns and solid colors of the costume add to the sense of movement. Tension is created by the arms swinging to the right while the
dancer turns her head to the left. |

Movement is created in this print by the repetition of the shapes that represent foaming, breaking waves, the long
sweeping lines of the overall shapes of the waves, and the alternating blue and white streaks on the water. |

In this sculpture the figures are stationary, but visual rhythm is produced by the repetitive lines and shapes. |
