Found Gestalt Walk

For the found Gestalt walk assignment I went to the Cox Arboretum which is one of the five Rivers MetroParks. Throughout the walk I tried to pay attention to the 6 Gestalt principles as well as the well-maintained park around me. The things that caught my eye the most were brighter colors, especially green, as it is only February still, so I tried to incorporate those into my photos. The architecture present in the arboretum was really interesting as well so I gathered some of that too. I think my most successful images are my containment ones, as the pipe is containing the area inside of it and the twisted branch is almost holding the tree in place. Some of the other principles weren’t as easy to find in nature like repetition and closure which don’t often occur naturally. However, because of my success on the containment photos I will be choosing one of those for my digital drawing.
