Exercise (Gestalt Principle)




Law of closure

tend to see complete figures

Law of symmetry

Symmetrical shapes that form around their center
Order has connotations of stability, consistency and structure.

Law of Pragnanz (figure-ground)

some objects take a prominent role (the figures) while others recede into the background (the ground).


Law of similarity

Objects similar to each other thus tend to be seen as a unit.

Law of proximity

Object close to each other forming as a group

This poem about patience. In order to get a good result expectation we must be endures it and try not to rush. We may be fail at first time but when we patience we may get more than we expected.

Artwork Treatment
Use light blue color as a background because it represent color of patience. I use nature as the puzzle background because nature make me feel calm and green are one of the color of success. I use puzzle as a idea because when we try match the puzzle we need a lot of patience in order to get a prefect picture.
