Rhythm is the basis of almost all performing arts, including music, dance, and poetry.
Rhythm is created by repeated shapes, elements, colors, sounds, and movements.
Repetition of a movement creates a feeling of movement or rhythm.
Rhythm can be formal (uniform rhythm) or informal (free rhythm).
Formal rhythm is the repetition of a motif in a uniform or regular arrangement.
Informal rhythm is the repetition of a motif with variation in its form, size, and arrangement.

Balance gives a feeling of rest, response, equilibrium, or stability.
Balance is achieved by balancing the visual weights of lines, forms, values, textures, and colors.
Visual weight is the perceived importance or heaviness of an element within a composition.
Visual weight is influenced by:
- Size
- Color
- Contrast
- Texture & Detail
- Position
- Shape
