CONTENT figure/ground similarity proximity closure continuance translation rotation reflection glide/reflection dilation symmetric balance asymmetric balance ambiguous balance neutral balance
FIGURE/GROUND a type of perceptual grouping which is allows us to seperate figures/objects from their background
SIMILARITY figures with similar characteristics which we see as belonging together
PROXIMITY similar figures, located close to eachother,are seen as a group the visual attraction of masses
CLOSURE a tendency to close or complete incomplete figures or groups
CONTINUANCE a group of figures arranged to imply a direction and to continue
TRANSLATION movement of a body from one point of space to another without any rotation, reflection, or change in size
ROTATION the action of rotating a body around an axis or center
REFLECTION a symmetry operation that rotates the mapping of a figure out of the plane 180Ëš
GLIDE/REFLECTION a symmetry operation that rotates the mapping of a figure out of the plane 180Ëš then glides the figure into a new position along a predetermined axis of reflection
DILATION the act of scaling - larger or smaller
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE a group of figures arranged to imply a direction and to continue
ASSYMETRICAL BALANCE a group of figures arranged to imply a direction and to continue
AMBIGUOUS BALANCE a group of figures arranged to imply a direction and to continue
NEUTRAL BALANCE a group of figures arranged to imply a direction and to continue
