1.The famous painting, "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" by George Seurat, was created by many dots placed strategically next to each other to create the overall picture, a technique called Pointillism. According to the gestalt principle of Good Continuation, this painting technique influences perceptual organization. The dots being placed close together in a series of lines and shapes makes it visually appear to be connected, perceived to be smooth and belonging together. The principle suggest that people tend "to perceive objects in alignment as forming smooth, unbroken contours" - APA.org The brain pieces objects together in a smooth homogenous way, when in reality the object is not smooth or continuous.

It's interesting to take notice of the things around us and really pay attention to the way we are visually stimulated. Looking at pictures from different directions can also affect what the way we are stimulated visually. For example, while looking in the sky at the formation of clouds, one person may see a particular shape, while another person would view the same cloud as a completed different shape. This shows how the mind fills in details that aren't necessarily there to make it seems familiar or easier to understand or view.

2.Which principle affects the way you perceive things the most? Not just paintings, but how you see physical things in your world on a daily basis?(Gestalt principle that influences your perceptual organization)
