Gestalt Principles are a set of theories in psychology that explain how humans perceive visual elements as organized patterns or wholes, rather than as separate parts. These principles suggest that our brains naturally group elements based on similarities, proximity, continuity, and closure, allowing us to make sense of complex images and scenes.
Key Gestalt Principles include figure-ground, where we distinguish an object from its background, and similarity, where we group similar items together. Other principles, like proximity and closure, further illustrate how we perceive relationships between objects, enhancing our understanding of visual information in everyday life.
