Activity 9: Gestalt Principle-Closure
For this activity, we learned about the Gestalt Theory and the different Principles that it includes: Closure, Proximity, Similarity, and Continuity. We were then asked to go to PowerPoint and make a simple image of one of the Principles. Once we were finished I went to Photoshop to crop my image from it's background. My image describes the principle of Closure. This principle says that "we attach meaning to visual displays." The viewer can see that this is the Closure Principle because of the shape that the eye forms by itself when looking at the piece as a whole. In reality, there are 4 oddly cut out squares but when the eye sees them together it forms a full rectangle in the middle. I enjoyed this activity because I learned something new about the different ways an eye can visualize and make something appear real when it's only an illusion.
