Gestalt: A Great journey to the Beyond! Ok not really, but it sounds cool!

Gestalt, at first i thaught was a person when Pat mentioned this. Some guy with a theory with positive negative space. Really, Gasalt is a theory of the way the mind works and the way we percive things. Theres diffrent laws and principals that rules them, one of them is the Figure ground.


Figure ground is the idea where the mind will see one thing first and follows to see something else after. In this image, Theres two images, one of two faces and then a vase. The mind can see both, but not at the same time. Some say a vase first some say the two faces. Thats the principal.

I really still dont understand the point of the concept, and anyways woudldn't it just beconcidered an optical illusion?

Doing the project in class wonked my eyes out with the defined black and white and manipulating the shapes. After awhile i could see diffrent stuff in my drawings. Haha.

Heres My scales! not so musical but very shapeular.

When doing the scales that was really hard to get the shading done corretly. I ended up doing it twice-more because i couldn't get it right. But i got it, it actually better that i had expected. Then my drawing came out kinda neat- although im not really sure if it came out to be Adjacent. I wanna say it did. I had about four or five diffrent values, If you count the spaces inbetween. I liked the overal compsition of the swirls and general curves. Im not really sure why i had no straight lines though.

String Thangs.

That was bloody fun!

Anyways, Drawing the Acoridon was amusing and interesting to see the diffrence of shapes, plus just drawing with sharpies is just plain fun. Most of the drawing was done just haphazardly and was what ever was on my mind. It was actually really neat looking in the end, and i dont think i could get that feeling or awsomeness again.

The String Project was AWSOME fun. Just throwing the string around, climbing over chairs and tables, going under people and tables and just the various things i did with the string was really amusing. I really had no system of going around with the string, just where ever i thaught the web needed more string. I saw an awsome web at some points before either i or some one else destroyed it, and that was nifty keen. I definately hope, if we were to do this again, is to not let ANY ONE tie them selves up, more just because that took WAY TOO LONG to untangle.

Otherwise, THAT WAS FUN!!! :D

Lines and Shapes and stuff

A IS A SHAPE
B.IS A SHAPE
C.IS A SHAPE
D.IS A SHAPE

A.IS A LINE
B.IS A LINE
C.IS A LINE
D.IS A LINE

Why?

Cause, They can be interpreted in diffrent ways, to me all the Objects can take line or shape form.

Lines can be constituted as thin and going in a direction or thick and all over.

Shapes have defined sides and edges.

I guess. o_o
