The Gestalt principles (proximity,
similarity, continuance, closure, and figure-ground) are five theories
attributed to the visual organization techniques humans use to attach meaning
and structure to what we are viewing.
These two images depict the principle of proximity for the human eye is able to see the separate shapes as a group due to their close vicinity.
The likeness in shape and size of these individual objects allows them to be viewed as a group by the human eye.
Continuance is classified as the perception of direction and motion in an image The human eye follows these shapes in the directions they are leading to.
Because humans recognize the rest of the shape, we are able to view the whole image as that thus operating the principle of closure.
Figure-ground is the theory in which alteration in size and placement play a role in what the viewer actually sees. From one aspect, a certain image is depicted and from the other, a different picture can be seen.
