[0:00] Harmony, or unity, is the pleasing way the parts of an artwork fit together as one whole. [0:40] Colour harmony comes from similar colours that sit near each other on the colour wheel, like blue and green. [1:20] Repeating shapes and balanced placement guide the viewer's eye smoothly across the picture. [2:00] Consistent texture and connecting lines tie the elements together so nothing feels out of place. [2:40] Picture a Kenyan savannah at sunset: warm oranges, repeated acacia shapes and a flowing horizon all create harmony.
