This is a sequence of animations broken into six parts on Gestalt Principles.

1. Part 1 of 6: A drawing of three Gestalt psychologists is shown. Next to the drawing, text links to the following Gestalt Principles are shown: proximity principle, similarity principle, continuity principle, closure principle, simplicity principle.
2. The on-screen text says "In the first half of the 20th century, Gestalt psychologists conducted pioneering work on form perception. Their Gestalt principles describe how visual elements tend to be grouped together. Select each Gestalt principle to see some illustrations."
3. Part 2 of 6: On screen, the proximity principle link is selected. There are two images shown to demonstrate the proximity principle.
4. The on-screen text says "The proximity principle asserts that things that are near one another seem to belong together. The black dots shown here could be grouped into vertical columns or horizontal rows, but people tend to perceive rows because the dots are closer together horizontally. You could view this illustration as eight separate lines, but due to the proximity principle you are more likely to view it as four pairs of lines."
5. Part 3 of 6: On screen, the similarity principle link is selected. There are two images shown to demonstrate the similarity principle.
6. The on-screen text says "The similarity principle states that people tend to group stimuli that are alike. This principle is apparent here, where viewers group elements of similar darkness into the number two. You could view this figure as horizontal rows, but you are more likely to see vertical columns because of the similarity principle."
7. Part 4 of 6: On screen, the continuity principle link is selected. There are two images shown to demonstrate the continuity principle.
8. The on-screen text says "The continuity principle asserts that people tend to connect points that result in straight or gently curved lines that create smooth paths, as shown in this figure. Although this scene could be created by two branches, we tend to assume that there is only one branch because of our preference for continuity."
9. Part 5 of 6: On screen, the closure principle link is selected. There are two images shown to demonstrate the closure principle.
10. The on-screen text says "According to the closure principle, we tend to ignore gaps in figures to create a sense of closure, or completeness. Hence, you are likely to perceive a circle and a dog here. Likewise, you fill in the blanks and see these forms as a square and an elephant."
11. Part 6 of 6: On screen, the simplicity principle link is selected. There are two images shown to demonstrate the simplicity principle.
12. The on-screen text says "According to the simplicity principle, people tend to organize and interpret forms in the simplest way possible. Thus, you could view this form as a complicated 11-sided figure, but you are more likely to see it as an overlapping rectangle and triangle. Likewise, it is simpler to see a single cube here rather than a complicated assortment of arrows and Ys."
