Perception:
Parallel Lines
Reflection
Transparencies for visual perception
Gestalt Principals of Perceptional Organization:
Continuance:
Look at objects and things connected together, and we think they are connected.
-That is how your eyes perceive it.
-You connect them together.
 -> Similarity:
 -> Closure:
 * Looks like a circle, but there are just dots:
 * Your mind will connect things/ ?close them,? in order to make sense.
=> Your Mind looks for Continuity and Closure!
=> Right Hemisphere:
 -> Responsible for vision
=> Left Hemisphere:
 -> Responsible for language
~Essentially, the two hemispheres work together.
Hemispheres:
Sometimes, the two sides do not work together.
If the left side can dominate, it can dominate the other side for vision:
  Purple             Blue            Red
(in purple)       (in red)        (in blue)
What we see in front of us and how we interpret it also has to do with our hemispheres.
If we reverse it and read the word versus the color, it tends to be tough.
People who use the right side more tend to be artists, poets, writers, etc.
People who use the left side more tend to be engineers, mathematicians, etc.
