Generalization - a few words that can describe, broadly, every piece in a set. Describing an artist's style with a few words or sentences.<BR/><BR/>3. Ideas - themes repeated in each work. I've heard it said with regards to teaching that it takes repeating something like 5 times to get an idea to sink in.<BR/><BR/>4. Emotion - the way the works make the viewer feel as a whole. Perhaps if one has unity, the viewer feels pleased, but without it, the viewer feels confused or conflicted.<BR/><BR/>I recently started to explore these ideas with respect to my own art. I've heard many good artists say you must specialize. In just the past couple weeks, I've tried to stick to one subject matter, and my friends have said, shouldn't you stop limiting yourself?

Ideas - eggs hatching in your brain, parts of a painting stimulating your subconscious without you being aware of it<BR/><BR/>4.
