Movement/Vocabulary Description – (50-75 words): Figure/Ground Relationship is defined as "a property of perception in which there is a tendency to see parts of a visual field as solid, well-defined objects standing out against a less distinct background."-Dictionary.com! One of the typical uses for it is to help artists to create a 2D composition or an optical illusion! An optical illusion is an image that can appear differently to the brain depending on if the black color is in the figure or ground!


Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words): I really enjoy looking at the relationship between figure and ground, even images as simple as just black and white or ones that are more complex. Optical illusions are also very interesting to me and I have even made some before in an art class I took!
