SHAPE

Joan Miro

An enclosed area defined and determined by other art elements; Shapes are limited to two dimensions: length and width.

Page 11: The Elements of Art. The building blocks of art. The elements of art are those components that one combines with principles of design to construct art.

Geometric shapes - circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on - have the clear edges one achieves when using tools to create them.

William Conger

Organic shapes have natural, less well-defined edges, for example an amoeba, a leaf, or a cloud.

Sculpture is an example of “real” form FORM

This painting is an example of “implied” form

Page 15: The Elements of Art. The building blocks of art. The elements of art are those components that one combines with principles of design to construct art.

FORM is a 3-dimensional object; or something in a 2-dimensional artwork that appears to be 3-dimensional.

For example, this circle, which is 2-dimensional, is a shape, But the sphere, which is 3-dimensional, is a form. Form canBe real or implied.

The development of foreground, middleground, and backgroundis one way to create DEPTH.

The distance or area between, around, above, below, or within things. space in a composition

Page 17: The Elements of Art. The building blocks of art. The elements of art are those components that one combines with principles of design to construct art.

Positive space is the area of a composition that is filled with something- the objects. Negative space is the area which surrounds the objects in a composition or the empty areas.

Robert Mapplethorpe

Overlapping is a technique thatcan be used to develop space in a composition.

TEXTURETEXTURE

The surface quality of an object, smoothness, roughness, softness, etc. Textures may be actual or implied.
