Unity
Chapter 2

Here i used one of my pictures and added characters to show unity. 

Example 8

Unity is a key fundamental for design. It brings the composition together and creates the design to be harmonious. It can make a painting flow or bring similarity in the design .

there are 5 ways to achieve unity:

• proximity
• continuation
• grid
• unity and variety
• Repetition and Varied Repetition

Proximity demonstates the bond or closeness/farther away elements are in a design.

Repetition characterizes a type of similarity in the elements of design. All the same size shape and color.

Continuation is a way to join parts of a design with a line, edge, or direction of the elements to appear continuous or as if all the same line/edge.

Variety creates unity by keeping the design interesting and less "plain looking". It allows the design to have more shapes, colors, textures, and many other things to enhance the experience of the design.

Gestalt- is the visual perception of elements as a whole.
