Unity through Variety

This is the image i chose to represent Unity through Variety. The unity is the pattern, houndstooth, throughout the whole picture. The Variety is the different colors of patches through the whole. This creates the unity through variety technique.

Unity through Proximity

Proximity is an easy way to achieve unity. This image depicts unity through variety quiet nicely. Each lego is a different shape or color, making  them different from each other. To make them appear like they belong together, the photographer placed them in close proximity. Now when you look at the picture you see the legos as a whole, and not necessarily as separate pieces.

Unity through Continuity

This image achieves unity through continuity. The circular shape of the containers aligned in a pattern create the relationship between the designs, while the color of the contents create the design itself.

Unity through Repetition

This image stood out to me when I thought, "Unity through Repetition." To achieve unity through repetition, an image or design must a have a repeating element that unifies the picture as a whole. The unifying elements of this picture are the color and direction. Color does help unify the image, but the direction is the main element. Each arrow is turning and pointing to the next creating a repeating cycle. Each arrow is part of the next, unifying the whole image.

Unity through Continuation

This image is conveys unity through continuation. To achieve unity through continuation, the artist must create an image that naturally allows the viewers eye to move smoothly from one element to the next. The line of the wall brings your eye up the picture, and then your eye can move with the line of the horizon. The lines allow for easy transition from one element to another.

Pattern and Texture

This image clearly depicts pattern and texture. The raised metal design through out this image appeals to the tactile sense, which means it is the texture. Similarly, you can see the pattern, being the raised, alternating "dashes" that cover the entire piece of metal.
