EXPECTATION
Stoetter, Johannes. The Frog. 2012. Bored Panda. Web. 17 Sept. 2014.
Johannes Stoetter is a body paint artist, who specializes in illusions crafted by one or several human bodies. The image that appears to be of a colorful frog is actually an illusion composed of five different people. Expectation plays a role in our perception of this image and causes us to see the frog long before we can make out the five separate bodies that make it up.
CULTURE
Robertson, Todd. Klan Kid. 1992. Gainesville. Dayton Daily News. Web. 18 Sept. 2014.
This photograph captured by Todd Robertson is an excellent example of culture in terms of the Cognitive Theory. In it, a Ku Klux Klan child is seen approaching an African American police officer at a KKK rally in Georgia. The KKK is culture specific and the uniform would not be recognized for its true meaning by someone who was not familiar with American culture.
WORDS
TAKING MY ROOMMATES' FOOD WITHOUT THEM NOTICING
The "What Should We Call Me" blog on tumblr.com is an example of how words give meaning and affect our perception. The blogger takes moving pictures from television shows, Youtube videos, and other sources and puts her own meaning to them in bold words above. This gives the images a new meaning and conveys how she can relate to them.
Strong visual examples and accompanying text.
