MOVEMENT | Could something be without movement? Movement is a key concept in art that brings life and dynamism to artworks, transforming the viewer’s perception and experience.

Movement in art refers to the technique and concept of creating the illusion of dynamism and change within an artwork. It can manifest in various ways, such as depicting figures in action, using lines and shapes that suggest movement, or incorporating elements that appear to be in motion. Movement is not only about visually representing action but also about evoking a sense of energy and fluidity, influencing how the viewer perceives and experiences the artwork. In disciplines like painting, sculpture, installations, and digital art, movement is essential for conveying dynamism and emotion, allowing art to capture and communicate the essence of change and vitality.
