figure/ground similarity proximity closure continuance translation rotation reflection glide/reflection dilation symmetric balance
VISUAL ORDER 14 aka: Gestalt laws of grouping
first proposed by Gestalt psychologists to account for the observation that humans naturally perceive objects as organized patterns and objects. Gestalt psychologists argued that these principles exist because the mind has an innate disposition to perceive patterns in the stimulus based on certain rules.

Gesalt visual principles have long been used to analyze images, most fine arts have been considered from other viewpoints with rather mystical “esthetic” judgements. Gesalt principles give us the opportunity to evalute.
