For Wed., Feb. 9- Gestalt Principles

Two gestalt principles are applied in the image above. One is proximity-the individual figures can be perceived as making up a tree because they are close enough to one another to do so. All spread out, they would not form an overall unified image. Also, because the individual images' similarities to one another, we are more able to focus on the overall tree image rather than on the individual images. If the individual images were different things while still placed in proximity to one another in a tree form, we may not be able to recognize the tree form as readily.
