During class today I did not realize that the type of art I was creating was called gestalt. I have seen this type of art before and I always thought it was very cool and it was something I've always wanted to do. Today I learned what that was by using Adobe Illustrator.

GESTALT: a structure, configuration, or pattern of physical, biological, or psychological phenomena so integrated as to constitute a functional unit with properties not derivable by summation of its parts.
