      • results when all the individual parts in the picture come together and support each other
      • extreme unity occurs when all parts and objects in the picture are related to each other like color, size, value, texture, and appearance
    • Variety
      • With total variety, nothing goes or fits with each other
    • Balancing variety and unity creates a picture that is interesting to look at without being disturbed.
