Figure/Ground

“Building on memory and experience, the brain fills in gaps and filters out extraneous data.” (99)



What I'm interested in this chapter is the figure inside of figure. When I saw the figure inside of figure first, I'm really surprising about that. I thought that was amazing. 



In this picture, the question is "what did you see at first sight in this picture? A dancing woman with dress, two people are kissing, or nothing." Right, it is the test for psychology. I always love to do such tests. Actually, the reason why I like this kind of picture is that it is not only just a picture, but also it is a tool that can help psychologists to get more information from others. For example, just talk about this picture, answering the question I said in the first sentence. And here is the result. If you choose two people are kissing, the result is that you are a persistent person and your six sense is not bad. If you choose a dancing woman with dress, the result is that you are a person with extremely fast reaction ability and super logic. If you choose nothing, the result shows that you need to be quiet to think about things. That's the beautiful point for this kind of picture. 


This picture is the same way to see. what did you see at first sight in this picture? Me is a face for a girl. But others would be a boy and his grandma sit on the ground. See, how amazing it is.

    Great job understanding the text. I like how you relate this to psychology as we do in fact learn
    And discuss about gestalt principle. I do love the images you included. It took me a while to see the two people on the first image and still struggling to see the grandma. However, I would’ve love to see you to either draw or relate It in your personal experience or things. Otherwise, great job!

    I love your tricky photos. Those photos really play with positive and negative space.

    I love the first image you chose to share! I immediately saw the woman in between the kissing figures. I really think perception and the way our brains fill in missing information is really fascinating! Great job!!

    Wow, I love your connection between psychology and negative space. I saw two people kissing first, i had to really focus to notice the woman dancing! The second image I saw a face of a girl through an arch! Great job on applying these to the readings. This was a fun blog post.

    I can clearly see the connection you made between this type of personality test and Gestalt principles. I also really enjoy this kind of test because it helps me further understand my personality. Personally, I think this type of personality test has 80%-90% accuracy depending on different sources.

Framing

图片
    Actually, I really love to study the fields of photography. And the main reason is that I want to know more about framing. In my daily life, every time I focus on the beautiful and fascinating things, I want to record them. But as you know, the real views are always more beautiful than the pictures. So, how to frame is an important thing to study. In the chapter, we can see lots of composition method. What I want to say is the camera frames and the frames inside of frames.      · First , the camera frames is a big field of framing. All pictures taken by camera need framing. A good composition can help a thing upgrade to a higher level. So, what should a good composition have? In my opinion, it needs color, light, a good aesthetic perspective and a good time. Just like what I used to say in my past Blog, I like color composition. It is an important element in a picture.      Actually, I like this photo's composition. If I didn't tell you, you maybe think that the background

Pixel and Grid

图片
  “Grids function throughout society.” (p. 187)    Pixel art is interesting. There is a game named "Minecraft" which is made by pixel art. In our lives, we can see a lot of things made by pixels. Like the QR code. And when our website was bad, the pictures that we upload are very vague.  http://xhslink.com/fOfxP  http://xhslink.com/Z4exP In this two picture, the pixel Pikachu and Snoopy were painted by hand. And it used the grid to finish a round thing. In my opinion, all living creatures are composed of round things. But we can clearly see the square grid and we also can see the images. That's so funny! Using eyes as an example! We can see the facial expression on Pikachu's face. The right eye was painted by using four little grids and it looks like a round eye. The left eye was painted by using two grids and it looks like a closed eye. And the Snoopy's eyes are ellipse, so it used two vertical little grids.    http://xhslink.com/KldxP Those Disney Princesses are
