Harmony
In art, harmony is the combination or adptation of parts, elements or related things, so as to form a consistent and orderly whole. It can also be described as a combination of parts or details with each other, so as to produce an aesthetically pleasing effect.

Harmony describes the combination of the pictorial elements ( colour, tone, line, form, content, brushwork, etc. ) into a consistent and orderly whole. Harmony is closely allied to unity and integration.
