Identify which Gestalt law is being implemented here and then provide an explanation of that law
As we all
know that Gestalt laws are ways are well-devised ways in which we tend to
observe the world around us. They help us in understanding human perception in
particular. They make us aware of how complex human perception can be. Your task
is to read out the given scenarios and identify which Gestalt law is being
implemented here and then provide an explanation of that law.

Gestalt
law (1) |
Explanation
(3) |
1. |
Ahmed
thought that people who were talking to each other at the festival were
groups of people. |
Proximity |
Simple shapes
arranged together can create a more complex image |
2. |
The
wildlife photographer saw blue birds with sharp feathers and black birds with
furry appearances. He labeled them as two separate groups of birds. |
Similarly |
The human eye
tends to build a relationship between similar elements within a design.
Similarity can be achieved using basic elements such as shapes, colors, and
sizes. |
3. |
Sana
saw some birds flying in a particular direction and she thought that they are
a group and all going to their home nest together. |
Continuation |
The human eye
follows the paths, lines, and curves of a design, and prefers to see a
continuous flow of visual elements rather than separated objects. |
4. |
Amna
was solving her geometry paper. She saw some lines that were disconnected. She was surprised to
see that when she connected those lines, a circle or triangle would be
formed. |
Closure |
The human eye
prefers to see complete shapes. If the visual elements are not complete, the
user can perceive a complete shape by filling in the missing visual information. |
5. |
Salman
viewed the clouds and main figures as he observed them along with the
sky. |
Figure/Ground |
The human eye
isolates shapes from backgrounds. |
