19) Unity through Proximity


Unity through proximity is the visual distance between the elements in an artwork.  In this painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Leda, the main woman in the painting, has very close visual connection to each child.  The closer the elements are, the more unity there is.  In this particular piece, all objects are fairly close to each other, practically touching, creating a high unity with proximity.
