Repetition
Repetition can be viewed as “Repeated use of a shape, color, or other art element or design in a work can help unify different parts into a whole. The repetition might be limited to only an instance or two: not enough to create a pattern or rhythm, but enough to cause a visual echo and reinforce or accent certain aspects of the work” (Flye, 2011).
In using the term “visual echo” instead of repetition, the images below there is repetition from tree trunks in the swamp creating vertical repetition, Christmas tress rows of pruned trees in their repeating green shapes. There are 2 areas of repetition with the image of bees and comb – both of those subjects have their own values of repetition. Lastly, the poinsettias, a greenhouse full of them, creates the repeating patter of a sea of red. Repetition is represented in theses image from color, shape and even patterns. |
