Shapes are enclosed objects and canbe created by line, color and valuechanges that define their edges.
Shapes can be:
organic (irregular shapes foundin nature) also called “natural”
geometric (shapes with stronglines and angles such as circles,triangles, and squares).

Neutral ColorsNeutral colors or earth tones are not seen on most colorwheels. Black, gray, whites are neutral. Browns, beiges andtans are sometimes neutral too. Neutral colors can be madeby mixing:
• Black and white
• Complementary colors
• All three primaries together (plus some black or white)
