Pendulum Art is a fun and creative way to make beautiful patterns. You can create your own unique art by changing the color of the pendulum throwing it with your mouse. You can also save your painting to your computer or share it with your friends.

What Are Pendulum Paintings?

Pendulum paintings are artworks created by harnessing the natural motion of a pendulum. In this process, paint is attached to a swinging pendulum, which then moves across a canvas, creating intricate and often symmetrical patterns. The resulting designs are a blend of physics and art, showcasing the beauty of natural motion.

In this app we have replicated the process of creating pendulum art digitally. You can control the pendulum’s motion and color to create your own unique paintings. Offering a fun and interactive way to explore the world of pendulum art without the mess. 🎨

Short History

Pendulum painting dates back to the mid-20th century. One of the early pioneers was artist and engineer Frank Malina, who experimented with kinetic art. His work laid the foundation for others to explore the artistic possibilities of pendulums.

In the 1960s and 70s, the practice gained more popularity. Artists were inspired by the elegance and unpredictability of the patterns created by pendulum motion. The use of pendulums in art also drew from the principles of physics, particularly the study of harmonic motion.

Today, pendulum painting remains a popular method for both artists and hobbyists. It’s celebrated for its simplicity, the captivating process, and the unique, patterns it produces. It’s particularly popular on social media, you can find many artists sharing their pendulum art creations on sites like Youtube and Instagram.
