This month’s collage exercise was based on the Design Principle – Unity and Variety.
It’s interesting the further we delve into Elements and Principles of
Design that they all start to meld together. How cool is that?

| Warm Up Collages Design Principle - Unity and Variety |
Unity creates harmony by using similar elements within the composition
and placing them in a way that brings them together. For example, using all
circles (unity), but varying the size (variety). Other examples to suggest
unity would be the use of repeated colours, textures or patterns.
Variety adds interest by using additional elements within the composition. For
example, varying the colour of the circles (variety) but keeping all the
circles the same size (unity). Too much variety of elements may result in a
busy composition.
The key to a great composition
is to find just the right balance in your work using both unity and variety
to their best advantage.
