This artist used color to unify this painting. The artist used lots of reds, oranges, and yellows. This artist also used lines to unify the painting. The artist used lots of strait lines for the trees.

This artist uses lines and texture to unify this painting. The lines all seem to be vertical and straight, and they also seem to get smaller and smaller as the painting vanishes into the distance. The artist also uses texture to unify this painting. This painting has a rough, fuzzy texture that looks soft and rough at the same time. It's kind of like trees with fur.

Hey Mrs. Kristiansen. Klimt uses color to unify this painting, and this is because all the leaves of the trees resonate fall. The reds, yellows, oranges, and browns all wrap the painting together. The other element of art used here is texture. Everything looks very rough and dry, like the fall. The bark on the trees looks rough, and the leaves look as though they'd crunch if I stepped on them.

Mrs. Kristiansen, the painter (Edvard Munch) used texture,color, and shapes. For example he used texture in the painting cause it looks as if you were to touch it it would feel like it is fuzzy.He used Color; for example he he combined a layer of different smeared colors together. He also used shapes because in there are many curved shapes you can find in the picture, such as his head. Overall I thought the person in the picture was the emphasis in the picture and the back round showed a lot of rhythm with the way that the back round kept going right next to each other.

This artist used unity with lines and texture. He mostley used straight, vertical lines in the trees. The trees look rough and scratchy and the grass looks prickly.

Dear Mrs. K,
Gustav used color and lines to unify his painting. He used colors like oranges, reds, and yellow, known as warm colors. Gustav used lines to unify the tree's and the branches. The tree's are very straight and so are the branches.

Klimt uses lines to unify this painting as in the trees in a vertical direction. The artist also uses texture to unify this painting by making the trees look fuzzy and everything looks very rough and dry.

The artist uses value to unify the different shades of oranges, and reds to signify fall. He also uses contrast because the trees are all similar yet different.

The artist uses unity by using contrast because the colors are slightly different but almost the same. Also, the artist uses movement because the trees are al in different places.

The artist uses colors and lines to make it look as if you are in a forest in the middle of fall.
