Thur Feb 19th: Unity

Unity noun


-a whole or totality as combining all its parts into one
- the state or face of being united or combined into one, as of the parts of a whole; unification.

or, according to the art dictionary on line:

Glossary Term: Unity
Unity is one of the principles of art. Unity is the feeling that everything in the work of art works together and looks like it fits.

The art dictionary is somewhat elementary, but explains that painters often used color or shape to bring unity to a composition. For me, simply having the subject matter the same throughout my photographs is not enough. I'll need something more, and I'm considering doing something out of the ordinary for my medium to help with this, perhaps some sort of alternative process, either in printing or maybe even in editing. We'll see.
