Arts Visual Perception Lecture 1
This document provides an overview of visual perception as it relates to art. It defines key terms like visual, perception, and the visual system. The visual system includes physiological components involved in sight. Gestalt psychology views perception as the mind forming meaningful wholes from the environment. There are several visual perceptual skills discussed, like visual discrimination, figure-ground, closure, and memory. The document also outlines gestalt principles and assigns the reader to create drawings demonstrating these principles and discuss the importance of visual perception in design.

Gestalt Psychology • Triesto understand the laws of our ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. • The central principle of gestalt psychology is that the mind forms a global whole with self-organizing tendencies. • This principle maintains that when the human mind (perceptual system) forms a percept or gestalt, the whole has a reality of its own, independent of the parts. • "The whole is other than the sum of the parts” by Kurt Koffka • The Founders of Gestalt Psychology: Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka and Wolfgang Köhler. Created sometime in 1912.
