The exam will have 5 questions worth 2 points each, and will feature images to be displayed with an overhead projector. For each image, a question will ask about the Gestalt principles present. The document then provides an example image and question, and suggests answering by identifying the Gestalt principles of similarity, proximity, and closure at play in the image.

This is a sample to better prepare your exam on Wednesday. I hope it will be helpful for you about what to do. The exam is going to have five questions (two points each). All the questions are going to be similar to this sample.
I am going to show you several images with the overhead projector. Let s work on this one.
The first thing you must keep in mind is that I am going to ask you a question for every image. The question is going to be like the one you can see below. What are the Gestalt principles we have in the image?
This should SIMILARITY be your answer: 1 Because we tend to put together shapes that 2 have similar features like the 1) windmills 2) barns 3) rolls in the image. 3
And your answer should continue: PROXIMITY Because we tend to put together shapes that are close to each other, like the bushes in the image. Of course, this principle works alongside similarity.
And your CLOUD answer should be as well: CITY Because we understand that CLOSURE the lines of the furrows are behind the FURROWS bushes, the windmills, the rolls and so on. FURROWS It happens the same with the city in the background FURROWS or the cloud in the sky. We mentally complete what remains from the whole figure.
So, your written answer could be like this one: 1- We have similarity in the windmills (you can say ¡°molinos¡± if you don t remember the word in English), the rolls, the barns and even the bushes because we tend to put together things that have a similar shape. 2- We have proximity in the bushes because we tend to put together things that are close to each other. That is why we see the bushes as lines. 3- We have closure (not continuation) in the furrows (¡°surcos¡±), the cloud and the city because we don t understand them as broken but as behind the different components of the image. Closure allows us to perceive depth.
