classroom exercise 3: gestalt principles

Oct 18, 2008 23:00



the idea this time was to come up with 3 simple images that would convey one gestalt principle each. we could only use three simple shapes, and i decided to use the conventional circle, square and triangle, as they are after all more straightforward than a rectangle, oval, parallelogram.

i must admit, my favourite principle is closure. i like that with closure, the viewer is invited to supply any missing pieces with his or her mind, encouraging interaction.
