Shapes
Shapes
are limited to two dimensions:
• Length• Width
Shapes
Two Classes of Shapes
• Geometric shapes
• Organic shapes
Shapes
Geometric Shapes
look as though they were made by a ruler or drawing tool.

Geometric Shapesexamples:

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

Forms
Form
applies to the over all design of a work of art.
Forms
Closed form
is when the elements of a painting are contained with in the frame and lead the eyes back into the picture.
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.
Forms
Open Form
if facts of figures are to cut of by frame and we feel that the action extends out of the picture.
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.

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

Forms
Centralized Forms
consist of a number of secondary forms produce a dominant, central, and parent form.
Forms
Linear Forms
are arranged sequently in a row or along a line.
