Visual Explorer Connections

The values of community, authenticity, innovation, and steward ship, all connect in ways that I connected to the Gestalt Theory. One main concept to this theory is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Each value represents this in a way. With community, people are needed to make up this community. Each member is a significant part to the group. With authenticity, it takes something to be different and stand out. Without the contrast of the authentic versus the fake, there would be no authentic, it would be just one thing. Therefore All parts are needed. Innovation represents this concept because to be innovative, an idea must be taken from something that already exists and then it can be improved upon. Lastly, with stewardship, more than one person is needed to be a steward and show hospitality. So with all these four themes, more than one part is needed to make up the whole.
