"In physics, motion is the phenomenon by which an object changes its position with respect to time."
The illusion of motion or direction in a composition.
Line: The visual path that directs the viewer's eye through a composition, creating a sense of motion and direction.
Shape: The physical form of an object, which can convey a sense of movement through curves or angular lines.
Space: The area in which an object exists, which can be manipulated to create a sense of movement or depth.
Color: The use of hue, saturation, and value to evoke emotional responses and create a sense of movement or energy in a composition.
Texture: The physical quality of a surface, which can create a sense of motion through repetition or variation.
Proportion: The relationship between the size and scale of objects within a composition, which can create a sense of movement or balance.
Pattern: The repetition of visual elements, which can create a sense of rhythm and movement.
Contrast: The use of opposing elements, such as light and dark or large and small, to create a sense of movement or tension.
Scale: The relationship between the size of objects within a composition, which can create a sense of movement through contrast or repetition.
Balance: The visual equilibrium of a composition, which can be manipulated to create a sense of movement or stability.
Actual movement: This is the physical movement that occurs in an artwork, such as a sculpture or a mobile, which changes over time or with external factors such as wind or touch.
Implied movement: This is the visual suggestion of movement within an artwork, created through the use of lines, shapes, and compositional devices. It implies a sense of motion even though the artwork itself is static.
Abstract movement: This type of movement is characterized by the use of non-representational shapes, lines, and colors to create a sense of movement within an artwork.
Kinetic movement: This type of movement is created through the use of mechanics, motors, or other forms of technology to make an artwork move or change over time.
Rhythmic movement: This refers to the repetition of certain shapes, lines, colors, or patterns in an artwork, which creates a sense of movement and rhythm.
Radiating movement: This is created through the use of circular or radial lines, shapes, or patterns that seem to emanate from a central point, creating a sense of movement outward from that point.
Converging movement: This refers to the use of converging lines or shapes that bring the viewer’s eye to a focal point, creating a sense of movement inward or towards that point.
Flowing movement: This is created through the use of curved lines or shapes that create a sense of motion, rhythm, and fluidity within an artwork.
Sequential movement: This refers to the use of series of images, shapes, or patterns that create a sense of movement or progression over time, such as in a comic book or graphic novel.
Repetitive movement: This type of movement is created through the use of repeated shapes or patterns that create a sense of movement and rhythm within an artwork.
"Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference to an observer, measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with a change in time."
"The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics."
"The branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics."
"If an object is not in motion relative to a given frame of reference, it is said to be at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or to have a constant or time-invariant position with reference to its surroundings."
"Modern physics holds that, as there is no absolute frame of reference, Newton's concept of absolute motion cannot be determined."
"As such, everything in the universe can be considered to be in motion."
"Motion applies to various physical systems: objects, bodies, matter particles, matter fields, radiation, radiation fields, radiation particles, curvature, and space-time."
"One can also speak of the motion of images, shapes, and boundaries."
"In general, the term motion signifies a continuous change in the position or configuration of a physical system in space."
"For example, one can talk about the motion of a wave."
"For example, one can talk about the motion of a quantum particle."
"The configuration consists of the probabilities of the wave or particle occupying specific positions."
