Be sure to refer to the appropriate Elements of Design in your anwers.
E.g. Van Gogh repeats the same short lines (brushstrokes) throughout his painting to create
unity. He also repeats the colour yellow, which is seen strongly in the sky, into the buildings
in the town and ever so slightly in the large tree.
