Chuck Close

I like this painting because it is a bunch of small shapes that form a bigger picture. It shows Gestalt principles in this way as well. The smaller shapes make up a bigger picture.

Repetition of Form

This picture shows repetition of form in a residential neighborhood. This is known as cookie cutter housing. This makes it easier for construction to occur because they are doing the same thing over and over again.

Gestalt Number Two

This picture shows the Gestalt principle repetition of form. As you can see the apples are all similar shape while the shades of color vary. The similar shapes bring the picture together nicely.
