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.
