Art can either show "actual motion" (when the art is moving eg. gifs and videos) or "implied motion" (the illusion of movement in a static image).
1. Show multiple positions in one image

| "In this photograph from 1938, one can see Harold Edgerton's technique of using multiple flashes during the process of taking the picture, which allowed the camera to capture high-speed motion. Here we see the golf club during the full range of its swinging motion" |

| "The Futurist movement took place in the early 1900’s. By using multiple brushstrokes and repetitive marks, they hoped to create a feeling of action into their paintings. Notice how the repetitive lines can create the illusion of movement. Take a look at the image below by Umberto Boccioni, entitled The City Grows, 1910" |

| "To have the subject portrayed in somewhat of a “freeze frame”. This type of movement may take the form of the subject being in the air, or at an angle. Setting up the composition so that the subject creates a diagonal line through the picture plane can create a sense of movement as well. This type of movement is illustrated in this painting by Edgar Degas, entitled, Balletprobe, 1873." |

| Kandinsky used abstraction to represent the intangible. He used formal elements to portray what can't be seen with the eyes and has no physical form. In this painting (Wassily Kandinsky Yellow -- Red -- Blue 1925), there is a strong and vibrant sense of movement. If you study it you will find diagonal, gestural, and directional lines; repetition; and placement of objects to give it an illusion of motion. |

This is a video of a mountain biker who also illustrates her experience.
She captures motion through:
1.lots of continuous, curved, bendy, not cemetrical, varied thickness lines
2.combining video with static drawn background
3.adding expressive lines to show speed and time passed (cartoony)
4.changing colour on static drawing (like an avalanche)
5.ink, very expressive at portraying movement (not solid colour but vibrant)
6. going from speed to slow motion, freezing mid action shot with drawing behind
7.showing different stages of the image, all the static layers combined in a video
8.the use of splashes of colour
9.imagery in response to sounds

This is a video of dominos. When the dominos are all lined up they look like a continuous line, then when they all the fall down there is slight motion. It seems like the lines are wiggling and moving as if there is a moving section within the line.
