This artwork by Hokusai Manga is an example of implied motion. The character is shown many times on the picture. When looking across the page as if one was reading it, the character appears to be dancing or moving across the page. His body is shown in a different stance every time. This is an example of apparent movement. The increments of him moving into a different stance form a sort of dance. The fact that our movement is familiar to us as humans further assists in bringing this picture to life. The familiar act of dancing allows us to relate. Even if this was an animal, we as humans might even assume that it was dancing because it is an act that we relate to as a species.
This is an art installation where tennis balls are hung through the room in a particular way. The way that they are hung implies that the balls are bouncing around the room. If you are standing in the room you can see that the balls get bigger the closer they are and get smaller the further away they are. The fact that the closer ones seem to be in front of the ones further away imply that the ball is moving towards or away from you. This can give the tennis ball illusions of direction. This could also be related to apparent motion because when an object is moving fast through the air it seems like there is multiple objects. The tennis balls seem to be moving in intervals through the air. This reminds me of playing pong and how the dot on the screen would move back and forth in increments that implied fluid motion.
