Anytime only one hue is being used in an image or painting in different shades such as lighter or darker values than its original color or by being intensified, that is known as a monochromatic picture. Harmonious unity is found through the image above because of the different shades of blue throughout her outfit.  

What is a Collage and How Does it Relate to Unity?

Collages are similar to scrapbook pages but are different in the sense that they create a visual unity and each item is admired individually, rather than as a whole recurring theme, idea, etc. In the image above, each image is viewed separately because of the fact that there is no specific recurring theme going on throughout the whole image/collage.

How does Proximity show Unity?

Proximity in images and paintings shows/has unity because when you put the elements in the image very close together or even close enough to be touching, it looks as if they both or all belong together. All of the ladies above huddling close to the bride at the center show proximity due to how close together they all are to each other. Their one big group shows unity!
