Gestalt principles are among the fundamental properties of the perceptual system. Providing the basis of our ability to make sense of the sensory signals.
In this assignment, you will create 5 pairs of contrasting compositions, as you will interpret the gestalt principles below. Each pair of compositions you will create should compare and contrast with each other. The entire set (the 5 pairs) will be your ‘series,’ which should look and feel like a related body of work. There are many more Gestalt principles, but these are some of the primary principles. Be prepared to explain your work.
Sets (5 pairs):
- Contrast vs. Harmony
- Boldness vs. Subtlety
- Symmetry vs. Asymmetry
- Proximity vs. Similarity
- Leveling vs. Sharpening
Rules:
- Ground will be white
- Figure will be black
- White square 8×8 inches
- Black squares 1×1 increment inches (e.g., 1×2, 1×3, 1×9, etc.)
- No shapes to extend past the white square. If it extends, it must be cut at the edge of the white background (e.g., the second example on the top).
- Black squares may be rotated
- Create balance and interest
Document your process in the course workshop document called, “Workshop01.Comp1” (available in Keynote or PowerPoint). Create and attach a PDF of your Workshop Document 01 Comp1 to your blogpost. Due as a blogpost with a PDF attachment on Thursday Feb 5th 9AM.

I’m sorry this is so late. I was enrolled late into this class and didn’t realize that the assignment is due a day before class.
This is late, but hopefully I can get partial credit for this. I took the feedback I received to heart and tried to modify my place assignment accordingly.
I’m late on this assignment, but hopefully I can get partial credit for it. I did not do the readings for week 3….. I will that before I do the second version of this.
