movement
(redirected from apparent movement)

movement

In music, a self-contained composition of specific character, usually a constituent piece of a suite, symphony, or similar work, with its own tempo, distinct from that of the other movements.

movement

In art, the component of a composition that implies or gives the sensation of activity or action; one of the formal art elements. Movements makes a work of art appear dynamic instead of static. The three main techniques used to effect movement in an otherwise fixed composition are optical movement, tricking the eye into seeing movement as used in op art; repetition, using a repeated shape as seen in some cubist works; and suggested movement, relying on the viewer's knowledge of the subject matter to communicate the idea of movement – for example, a viewer looking at a painting of a car chase will expect the cars to be moving. A work of art may also incorporate actual movement, as in kinetic art.

When coupled with rhythm, movement also becomes one of the design principles considered by artists when creating a composition, enabling the eye to travel around the work.
