The document discusses the concept of pattern and rhythm in abstract art. It explains that repetition creates rhythm, and that rhythm can be simple and regular or complex and uneven. Variations in rhythm, such as fast and slow or simple and complex, affect the overall mood conveyed. Shape is another form of rhythm. The document also discusses how artists use techniques like light, color, and repetition of shapes to evoke feelings and suggests abstract artists can find inspiration in nature by taking elements out of context.
