Gestalt the Elephant

Because this is a no-judgment zone, I'm going to share Gestalt the Elephant with you all.

He uses many gestalt principles, because he is very good at remembering them.
First, he uses similarity because all the blocks are *about* the same size, and similar in color...kind of.
Second, he uses proximity by having all these shapes, though not touching, close to each other showing that they belong together and make a larger picture than they could by themselves.
Third, he uses closure, because you have to fill in the blanks to see the top of his head or his trunk.

He is also part of my color experiment. I used many different hues of the color yellow. By adding different levels of grey (getting tones), black (getting shades), and white (getting tints), I ended up with nine different colors that go well together.
