The top is my steady artwork. I created the rhythm by taking a swerving, uneven line and copying it eight times, then I copied the whole picture and moved it to the right 1 cm. The rhythm I created in the picture is a relaxing, repetitive atmosphere which is supposed to make you feel, like you are floating on water. The bottom is my dynamic rhythm. I created it by drawing straight lines and making them overlap, I also made all of the vertical lines the same length as well as all the horizontal lines the same length. I unevenly made the lines start at one end and almost end at the other. I then changed the vertical lines' brush type and stroke size to 0.75, with also changing the horizontal lines' stroke size to 3. My sense of rhythm for my steady art piece works in the way that is clearly opposite to my dynamic image to the bottom being: rigid, stiff, and sharp unlike the steady art piece which is loosely made, wavy and rounded. They are also different in the ways they make you feel. The steady one making you feel calm and collective and peaceful then the dynamic one making you feel formatted, stuck, orderly and gridlock. The lines don't meet all the way across, it only gives that illusion, meaning you feel gridlocked but in reality you have a chance at breaking free from your real feelings. My thinking when making these were more concerned with the aesthetic aspect of it then the meaning it is supposed to give off. I do think they work in that general aspect of aesthetics.
At first appearance and my personal opinion I believe the dynamic one is more aesthetically pleasing but the steady one works better in the way it is supposed to make you feel, mainly because when I look at these two pictures the fade at the bottom of the dynamic one looks prettier to me than the steady one does. The dynamic rhythm is more discordant than the steady rhythm because the steady is more harmonic and flows fluidly, it all moves in one motion revealing the unity of it all. Where as the dynamic is more rigid and strict and stand-forth also really straight forward and jagged, not harmonic at all with little to no unity. As I said before the top makes me think of a pool or when you float in the ocean on the waves, but the bottom reminds me of a barbecue, math homework, a bed sheet or a waffle iron.
