Gestalt Principles

The two principles that are used in this design that I created are Figure/Ground and Continuation. I carved a pumpkin and used a design of a heart. You can see how your eye kind of continues to finish the pattern in the pumpkin. It also kind of creates an optical illusion around the outside of the heart to create the abstract effect.

This picture incorporates the principal of closure. The lines don't ever close or continue, but it gives the effect of closure. Our eyes are trained to make the picture look as though it was made of continuing lines when in reality, they are not closed.
