Much more common are elements of abstract dynamism featured by mainly static objects. Here, the architectonic parts of the contour define the direction of the motion, while the slanted parts add force to it and make it more expressive. Physical analogs for this feature would include deformations in moving objects caused by inertia or aerodynamic drag. Indeed, anything moving swiftly enough appears blurred to the human eye, and imitating that blur by design means is a sure way to add dynamic flavor to the composition.
Dynamic eye flows induced by pairs of contrasting objects are the subject of a next section .
Now, imagine that all of the features listed above do not apply, and what we have is a simple, perfectly symmetric shape without any slant, rotation, or blur. Simply put, a stretched rectangle is more likely to imply some dynamism than a square. Inc. Legal Notices .
