-principle which produces an impression of unity through the selection and arrangement of consistent

- Characterized as repetitive, continuous, or flowing
KINDS of rhythm
1. Alteration- two patterns alternately
2. Radiation- repetition of the motif from the center or toward it
3. Progression- motifs of varying sizes, that is, from the smallest to the largest, or vice

4. Parallelism-pattern with an equal distance from each other
5. Balance- known as physical equilibrium
