Learning Activity: Form and Space

This Learning Activity made us cut out different sizes and shapes out of black paper and the arrange them on a white landscape A4 paper to try and figure out the point of where the figure dissapears into the ground and find when it become unclear between them.

I came to the conclusion that the point of where the figure and ground becomes unclear depends largely on the amount of color that takes up the shapes. Also the brain will more easily know that the ground is the ground when the outlining shape is revealed (When you see the white A4 edges of the paper). When the black shapes becomes more consistent and more firm than that of the white paper, the distiction between the figure and ground become unclear.
