Unity differs from the [[gestalt|gestalt]] methods of grouping in that unity refers to the //entire composition//, not groups within the composition. Unity can be described as the state in which all elements complement each other rather than compete for attention. Unity can be accomplished through the use of [[color|color]], [[shape|shape]], [[direction|direction]], [[texture|texture]], and [[motion|motion]].\\ \\ \\ {{:25c57.jpg?nolink}}\\ Similar marks create unity through repetition.\\ <wrap lo>Michael Letts. //Monument//.</wrap>\\ \\ \\ {{:81852.jpg?nolink}}\\ Similarity of shape, line, and color create unity.\\ <wrap lo>Balla, Giacomo. //Plastic ensemble//. 1915.</wrap>\\ \\ \\ {{:234ed.jpg?nolink}}\\ Unity is created through overall color and similarity of organic shapes.\\ <wrap lo>Klee, Paul. //Fish Image//. 1925.</wrap>
