Gestalt /ɡəˈSHtält/ n. a unified whole
The theory of visual perception called Gestalt Psychology describes how humans perceive a group of objects as a whole before seeing the individual parts. Many artists and theorists have based their works on this theory, including Ed Spence, our featured artist for the workshop. In this workshop, Spence will be introducing his ideas based on Gestalt Psychology and the writing of Rudolf Arnheim. Working with mixed media to create collage based works, informed by aforementioned theories, will help understand how we perceive visual information and how we can creatively use the idea in our own art practices.
