Definition
动感 (dòng gǎn) refers to the vivid feeling of movement or energy in a usually static work (art, design, photo). Unlike 动态 (dòng tài), which describes ongoing situations or trends, 动感 is a specific visual/rhythmic quality of an object. It also differs from 形象 (xíng xiàng 'vivid') and 逼真 (bī zhēn 'lifelike'), which focus on clear representation or realism rather than motion.
