Gestalt Laws of Organization

The Gestalt Laws of Organization are principles that describe how our minds naturally group and interpret visual information. They include rules like proximity (objects close together are seen as a group), similarity (similar items are grouped), continuity (we follow lines smoothly), closure (our mind fills in missing parts to complete shapes), and figure-ground (distinguishing an object from its background). These laws help us quickly make sense of complex scenes by organizing visual elements into meaningful patterns, making perception more efficient and intuitive.
