## Rhythmic Sense in Form The rhythm of form is like the joints of the human body. Generally, the aesthetic evaluation of vessel forms is measured by the standard of greatest beauty (with exceptions for ethnic customs). If the proportions are appropriate, harmonious, and richly varied, beauty will emerge. Let's look at a few examples below: > [Reference to visual examples showing various vessel forms] All of the above forms employ the same type of line—convex and concave curves. Although they use the same type of line, because the variations differ, the forms also differ, and the effects are not the same. The same type of line, turned over and over, lengthened and shortened, can produce many different forms. The stronger the sense of rhythm, the more beautiful the form becomes.
