Goals:

  • 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

What is the part of the painting that helps to UNIFY it all? Are you using LINES to unify the work? Are you using COLOR to unify it all? Are you using something else? Take a moment and look at the work from a distance and consider if it is unified? EXPLAIN.
