Law of similarity

In this picture I grouped everything together but after looking at it for a minute the squares don't fit in. 

Ground Figure

I choose this picture because the white shapes and the black shapes blend in well with the back ground. It's also crazy how it looks like they are connected and the back pieces of the the shape are black and the front are white. 

Law of Proximity

In this picture my eyes already groped together the circles on the left. The circles on left has the same amount of  circles on the right, but the left looks like it has many more circles because they are all grouped together. 

Law of pragnanz

When I first looked at this photo I thought it had something to do with an arrow and then I realized it was just a square and triangle. 

Continuity

When I first looked at this picture I looked to the left side and saw that they were all smiley faces and it's a longer line.

Law of Closure

I choose this picture because you fill in the blanks where the circle is cut out and actually see the picture as a full circle.

Position

This picture shows that some of the rock is still there from the hole that has been created. I also like how you can see the water coming up the sides of the rock. The position of the rock will probably stay like this for years. 

Color


I love this picture with all the different flowers and then the green of the trees in the background and the green of the grass around the flowers. I also like how the grass and the flowers up close are out of focus. 

Shadow

The shadow in the ocean is off of a glacier. I like how you can see the shadow off of one glacier but you cant see it off of the other.

Size

The big round ball makes the white satellite stand out. Without the satellite I'm not sure if you would be able to tell how big the ball really is. If you look at the big ball closely you can see how it has lines that sort of form shapes on the ball. 

Highlights

I like how the sun in the clouds is making certain clouds change around it. The sun is making the highlights come out in the clouds. I also like how the clouds are different shapes. It's really neat how you can even see the reflection in the water of the different colors in the sky. 


Shape

I like how this picture has so many different types of shapes. It looks like some shapes are of stairs and others are railings. The square shape also has the triangle shapes with it. I like how the window at the top sets the shape the rest of the way down. 

Orientation

The black on the white really makes it stand out. When I first looked at this picture I thought the words were painted on. After staring at it I think that they are engraved and then painted. I am still not sure. The horizontal shape of the rock that the words are painted on and then the words being horizontal is why I choose this picture. 

Texture

I loved the texture in this photo. When I look at this photo the leafs really stand out to me and I can just imagine what they feel like. The lines on the leafs and the edges of them almost make the leaf look fake. The center of the flower helps the flower stand out.

Get the glass!!

What a cool idea of a 3D board game that anyone can play. It really entertained me. I was surprised when class was over and I had only gotten so far. I never realized that the game was a milk advertising campaign until I read about it on the internet. I thought that the technique of being able to throw the dice was a great idea put into the game. It was a random throw every time, but I mostly rolled a three or four. It was awesome how most of the squares resulted in picking one of the three cards. The different puzzles that they had you solve in the mastermind cards were awesome. This was a great game that campaigned in the US. They wanted the US to know how important it is to drink milk daily and what could happen to your body if you don't drink milk. I have decided to stop drinking soda pop because it's tennis season, so instead I have been drinking water and lots of milk. This game has made me realize that it's very important to drink milk. What a great game!!
