In Going Home, unity was created by repeating which visual element?

• A. The use of blue
• B. The use of yellow
• C. The use of red
• D. The use of green

Answer: (C)

Unity in a visual work often comes from repeating a single element to tie parts of the composition together. Here, the color red recurs across different areas, creating a visual thread that moves the eye through the scene and links figures, objects, and spaces. This repetition makes the disparate parts feel like a single, cohesive whole rather than a jumble of separate elements. The warm, attention-grabbing quality of red also reinforces a sense of warmth and belonging associated with home, enhancing the overall unity. While other colors can appear, their isolated use wouldn’t knit the composition as effectively as a consistent repetition of red.
