Harmony - a pleasing set of simultaneous sounds or a picture arrangement that is easy on the eye
Thematic unity - collection of similar or related objects in a composition
gestalt - organized whole, the whole work will have a greater meaning than the sum of, or despite, the meanings
of the parts
Unity
proximity (most logical way to achieve unity)
repetition (repetition with variation = powerful stimulus)
continuation (more subtle)
grid (strict = boring, loose = better) (consistency and continuity)
Continuation is the manner in which a pathway of explicit and hidden
lines leads the eye around a composition.
Continuity means unifying a
series of paintings or pages in a book- or scenes in a play- by using a device such
as a master grid
theme - a melody that is repeated or on which variations are constructed.
alignment - edges line up
similarity of value and color
