19- Unity through Proximity

Unity is a congruity or agreement that exists among the elements in a piece. One of the easiest ways to do this is through something known as Proximity. Proximity is simply putting elements or designs close together to form unity.

The Last Supper by Da Vinci has much in the way of proximity. Notice how he grouped the figures together save for the one in the center. By using proximity he focuses the groups into a tighter arrangement, bringing them all a bit closer together.
