Expressive movement
Movement does not just refer to the real movement of subjects in a work of art or design. It can also relate to technique that suggests movement that is not visible in a single moment.

Van Gogh's The Starry Night (1889) is an example of how an artist can use a specialised painting technique to suggest movement.
Broken, swirling lines suggest the movement of the wind through the sky. Van Gogh also used short, circular lines surrounding the stars and moon. This helps suggest that they are twinkling.
Van Gogh physically painted movement which is usually only felt and not seen. This helps the viewer to experience the scene and awakens the sense of touch as well as sight.
