RELATIONSHIPS

Repetition - Variations
in Repetition
Repetition of all the elements may seem monotonous. Repetition of one element alone may not provoke the sense of order and harmony which we normally associate with the repetition discipline. if most of the visual elements are in repetition, possibilities in directional and spatial variations should be explored.

Directional Variations - With the exception of the plain circle, all forms can vary in direction to some extent. Even circles can be grouped to give a sense of direction. Several kinds of directional arrangements can be distinguished:

a) Repeated directions
b) Indefinite directions
c) Gradational directions
e) Similar directions

Repeated and the more regularly arranged directions can be mingled with some irregular directions .

Spatial Variations - These can be obtained by having the forms encounter one another in a multiple of interrelationships [See Interrelationships]. Imaginative use of overlapping, penetration, union, or positive and negative combinations can lead to surprising results.
