Unity

Unity through repetition - The plethora of colors in this particular image are tied together by the repeated "bull's eye" shapes. -Tom Moody
Unity through continuation - This black and white photograph by Andrea Macfarlane uses the continuation of a variety of shapes to create unity. The parallel lines of the benches and concrete and the receding circles and half-circles draw the eye back into the image. -Andrea Macfarlane
Unity through emphasis on variation - This painting by Andy Warhol utilizes slight variations not only to add visual interest but also to unify the image as a whole. If all of the cans were the same color and at the same angle, the painting would not be anywhere near as successful as this colorful image. This is also an example of a grid based design. -Andy Warhol
Unity through use of the grid - This collage makes use of the grid as a unifying factor in this skyline collage. Although parts of the image are disjointed and not matching, the fact that all of the parts are laid out structurally in a grid format ties it all together. -Fine Art
