Slide 1:FORM, SHAPE AND SPACE
Slide 2:Form and shape are areas or masses which define objects in space.
Form and shape imply space; indeed they cannot exist without space. There are various ways to categorize form and shape.
Form and shape can be thought of as either two dimensional or three dimensional. Two dimensional form has width and height.
It can also create the illusion of three dimension objects. Three dimensional shape has depth as well as width and height.
ORGANIC :ORGANIC Organic forms such as these snow-covered boulders typically are irregular in outline, and often asymmetrical. Organic forms are most often thought of as naturally occurring.
GEOMETRIC :GEOMETRIC Geometric forms are those which correspond to named regular shapes, such as squares, rectangles, circles, cubes, spheres, cones, and other regular forms. Architecture, such as this example by Frank Lloyd Wright, is usually composed of geometric forms. These forms are most often thought of as constructed or made.
Slide 5:However, not all made objects are geometric; many designed forms have irregular contours. Although this kimono is geometric in its construction, the surface design is organic in form.
Nor are all naturally occurring objects organic; snowflakes and soap bubbles are among many geometric forms found in nature.
REALISTIC and ABSTRACT :REALISTIC and ABSTRACT If we can recognize every day objects and environments, we refer to the images as being realistic, or naturalistic
However, if the images are difficult or impossible to identify in terms of our normal, daily visual experience, we may refer to the images as abstract.
OBJECTIVE ABSTRACT :OBJECTIVE ABSTRACT distorted, but perhaps in such a way that the source is not immediately apparent.
NON-OBJECTIVE ABSTRACT :NON-OBJECTIVE ABSTRACT Pure study of form, line, and colour, and do not refer to any real-world object or scene
Slide 9:Forms and shapes can be thought of as positive or negative. In a two dimensional composition, the objects constitute the positive forms, while the background is the negative space.
3-Dimensional Space :3-Dimensional Space The tools for creating illusions of three dimensional space are overlapping, changing size and placement, linear perspective, relative hue and value, and atmospheric perspective.
