Motion

Relative Stillness Almost every aspect of life involves constant

change. We humans cannot sit or stand motionless for more than a moment or so; even in sleep we turn and change position.

ANTICIPATED MOTION

SEEING AND FEELING

IMPENDING ACTION

Much of the implication of movement present in art is caused by

our memory and experience

Kinesthetic Empathy

In a process called kinesthetic empathy, we

tend to re-create unconsciously in our own

bodies the actions we observe. We actually

“feel” in our muscles the exertions of the

athlete or dancer; we simultaneously stretch,

push, or lean, though we are only watching.

Optical MovementAFTERIMAGE AND EYE MOVEMENT

So far, I have presented several techniques for

capturing movement or depicting it in two-

dimensional media. The understanding is that

static art and design forms such as drawing,

painting, prints, and graphic design can’t actually

move—but the eye can move, or the image on the

retina can flicker, and graphic elements can induce

these movements (or illusions of movement).
