Form perception: An Interactive guide to the Gestalt principles
Abstract
The term Gestalt literally means "form" in German. In the early 20th
century, the Gestalt Principles of Perception were developed by
German psychologists from the Berlin School. These principles
describe the different ways the human mind organizes visual
elements into groups or unified wholes. The definition of Gestalt in
relation to these principles is "unified whole."
This thesis is an endeavor to examine the five major principles of
Gestalt perception through the use of short animations and illustrated
examples, presented in a website. It will also allow the user to test the
knowledge provided through a short multiple-choice quiz and an
experimental workshop section. The website will essentially be an
educational tool for students and teachers alike, helping establish a
strong visual and aesthetic awareness and improvement in design
choices.
