- 1. I have a Question for you. Write these down and be sure to
save room to answer each one in a complete sentence. What is the
difference between a circle and a sphere? What is the difference
Between shape and form? We will discuss then you may Answer.
2. Well Definitions (you can but dont need to write this down
yet. Shape: Definition: (noun) - A shape is one of the seven
elements of art. When defining it within the study of art, shape is
an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other
elements of art (i.e.: lines, colors, values, textures, etc.).
Shapes are limited to two dimensions: length and width. Geometric
shapes -- circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on -- have
the clear edges one achieves when using tools to create them.
Organic shapes have natural, less well-defined edges (think: an
amoeba, or a cloud). 3. Is this a shape? 4. Is this a shape? 5. So
can we shorten that definition? Shape: an enclosed space created by
any of the elements of art. IE line, color, texture, value. 6. More
definitions. Form: (noun) - Form is one of the seven elements of
art. At its most basic, a form is a three- dimensional geometrical
figure (i.e.: sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.), as opposed to a
shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat. In a broader sense, form,
in art, means the whole of a piece's visible elements and the way
those elements are united. In this context, form allows us as
viewers to mentally capture the work, understand it and attempt to
analyze it. 7. Yay! Or Nah! To form or not to form. 8. basics For
basically occurs when a shape gets two mores dimensions (height,
width, or depth) 9. forming simple Form: a shape that is not flat.
Created by showing light to dark (gradient, value). Got it
memorized. 10. Lets try this again What is the difference between a
circle and a sphere? What is the difference Between shape and form?
11. Practice time 12. Get this memorized. 13. Now Based on what you
have learned so far, draw a cube.
