The combination of compositional and conceptual unity is what

Compositional-

-An artist creates compositional unity by organizing all the visual aspects of a work
-Too much similarity of shape, color, line, or any single element or principle of art can be monotonous and make us lose interest
-Too much variety can lead to a lack of structure and the absence of a central idea

conceptual-

-Conceptual unity refers to the cohesive expression of ideas within a work of art
-The expression of ideas may not look organized, butan artist can still communicate them effectively by selecting images that conjure up a single notion
-Artists bring their own intentions, experiences, and reactions to their work. These ideas—conscious and unconscious—can also contribute to the conceptualunity of a work

The theme of social protest remained a consistent focus for jacob lawrence throughout his career. in the 1960s lawrence was inspired by news reports and photographs, including images of segregated lunch counter sit-ins and stories of the   freedom riders in the civil rights movement. from the 1970s onward, lawrence's work focused less explicitly on contemporary social issues.
