Shapes

is an element of art that refers to an area clearly set off by one or more of the other element of art.

Page 3: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Shapes

Shapes

are limited to two dimensions:

• Length• Width

Page 4: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Shapes

Two Classes of Shapes

• Geometric shapes

• Organic shapes

Page 5: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Shapes

Geometric Shapes

look as though they were made by a ruler or drawing tool.

Geometric Shapesexamples:

Shapes

Organic Shapes

is called free form. Shapes are not regular by even.

Shapes

Organic ShapesShapes are not regular by even. Their outline may be curved/angular, or they may be a combination of both.

Forms

Form

applies to the over all design of a work of art.

Page 11: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Forms

Closed form

is when the elements of a painting are contained with in the frame and lead the eyes back into the picture.

Page 12: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Forms

Closed formFra Angelico's

painting can also serve as an example of closed form. The columns and the figures create vertical movement while the step and the general trend of the arch create horizontal lines. These horizontal and vertical lines follow the frame and create their own sense of limits.

Page 13: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Forms

Open Form

if facts of figures are to cut of by frame and we feel that the action extends out of the picture.

Page 14: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Forms

Open FormLiberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix. The diagonals created by the flow of the figures helps to break the painting out of its frame. It is easy to imagine the rest of the scene continuing on outside our view. By contrasting with the frame, the diagonals also create a heightened sense of movement.

is also concerned with shapes of planes, openings, and silhouettes of building forms.

Forms

Regular Forms

are those parts are related to one another in a consistent orderly manner. They are generally stable and symmetrical in about one/more axes.

Forms

Irregular Forms

are those whose parts are dissimilar and unrelated to one another. They are generally asymmetrical and dynamic.

Irregular Forms

an exploration of the interactions and energy created by pushing three large irregular forms very close together.

Page 27: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Forms

Centralized Forms

consist of a number of secondary forms produce a dominant, central, and parent form.

Page 28: "Shapes and Forms" Humanities

Linear Forms

are arranged sequently in a row or along a line.
