Definition:
(noun) - A principle of art, unity occurs when
all of the elements of a piece combine to make a

another of those hard-to-describe art terms but,
when its present, your eye and brain are
pleased to see it

I would like you to find a shape. It could be a
dog, it could be an ice cream cone. It could be
anything. We are going to complete the same
kind of task with this shape. I want you to draw
it then fill it in with words that describe it.
You can hand it in on Friday!
