Rhythm through repetition

We may express a feeling of rhythm by repetition of lines, colours and shapes, but in doing so we must also keep in mind the principles of proportion that deal with unity, with a certain amount of variety to add interest. Shapes that are all the same size and shape with the same spacing between each, would give as an example of repetition (Fig.5.10), but it might be very monotonous.
