Abstract
Rhythm is considered the common ground shared by all types of
arts and the cornerstone on which the aesthetic value is achieved and
judged. Furthermore, the concept of Rhythm, in the sense of harmony
that is, is based on the contents of art itself ,i.e., on the effect of similarity,
symmetry, redundancy, diversity and compliance that make the artistic
and creative accomplishment formed in a simple, compound or a
complex method.
Art derives the elements of rhythm from life and its modes starting
from the beats of time reaching to the beats of heart. Then it clearly
molds and takes its final shape in the accomplishments of the creative
art. This is reflected by the aesthetic effect the work of art has on everybody,
even if relatively, without exception.
Besides the fact that rhythm reflects the character, identity and
characteristics of the artist and consequently his artistic work, it affects
the heart beats of the human being and leads him to a better appreciation
of art.
In this study, the researcher deals with issues that are related to rhythm
and its effect on art. He discusses the role of rhythm in achieving a distinguished
work of art, differentiates among types of rhythms and identifies each
type. He also shows the way of dealing with rhythm as an aesthetic concept
that holds the artistic work together and attracts the recipient in a way that
helps him better understand the role of art in life.
