Similarity-5

Gestalt Principle: Similarity

The principle of similarity states that things which share visual characteristics such as shape, size, color, texture, value or orientation will be seen as belonging together. When similarity occurs, an object can be emphasised if it is dissimilar to the others. This is called anomally. this picture is a good example of anomally since we can clearly distinguish the orange from the apples. by that we tend to focus on the things that are dissimilar.

Depth-4:

    This drawing illustrates an illusion of depth of distance. As we saw in class the example of railroads is the same as this one. in other words when we draw roads, railroads and building we tend to use the illusion of depth to show the distance. Like the road and buildings in this drawing. Our mind see that the sides of the road will cross in one point. linear perspective is used in this drawing since we can clearly see the horizontal lines that suggest space. 

There are different ways to create the illusion of depth:

• linear perspective.
• overlapping
• scale and proportion
• atmospheric perspective
• location and surface detail.

Point, Line, Plane-3:

I choose this picture because it is really confusing. We actually can’t see if the lines are parallel or not especially when we try to focus on them. If you observe this picture closely you will start to think that the lines are moving and they kind of touch each other. It is one example of an optical illusion.

Color-2

In our daily life we see complementary colors all around us, but we don’t pay attention to this kind of small details. Therefore, I think that this picture represents a real example of complementary colors. Colors that are opposite or face each other on the color wheel are considered to be complementary colors.

 For example: red and green. Colors that we find in nature offer a perfect color harmony. In addition when we see red roses we always tend to think about romance, sensuality, passion and lover’s favorite flower.

Lighting-1

I think that we didn’t see this kind of lighting in class, that’s why I picked this picture. As we can notice in this photo we can see only one side of this face we also see shadows.So this kind of lighting is called 'side lighting'. We can’t really tell if it’s a men or a woman’s face. Here the lighting really contributes to the meaning of the picture. It gives the photograph some mystery, drama, darkness and depth. I think that it draws attention. It makes us think and imagine the rest of the picture.
