Design and Storyboarding

1.  What is the Gestalt Theory? The Gestalt Theory proposes that the human brain is naturally inclined to group items and to see and describe them as single objects. Emergence- when the human forms an object from a pattern Reification - happens when our brain creates shape from negative space Multistability- occurs when the interpretation of an ambiguous image jumps back and forth, as it does with the Rubin's vase image Invariance- the ability of the human brain to recognize an object, even when viewed in different conditions 2.  What is the Golden Ratio?   The Golden Ratio is also referred to as the Divine Proportion. It is calculated based upon a sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci sequence. The Golden Ratio enables people to work out the divine proportions that occur both in nature and in art.
