Document Summary
Consider a field that had alternating rows of sunflower and physically similar corn: the distance between rows may be the same as the distance between plants within a row, you still tend to group together the vegetation of, continuity: lets us perceive a simple continuous form rather than a the same type combination of awkward forms. A vase of flowers: we"re likely to perceive each stem as a continuous line, even though they"re likely to be criss crossed with other stems, not the case that we see the top of two stems as one, common fate: the idea that things that change in the same way should be form grouped together. An animal camouflaged in its environment: when the moth is still, it"s almost impossible to see, once the moth moves, elements within the mother"s pattern that are moving together in the same direction/time allow us to see the contour of the moth"s shape.
