  18. Shape Shape has length and width, but is flat. It is perceived as two-dimensional. (Form has depth, length, and width. It is perceived as three-dimensional.) There are two TYPES of shapes: • Geometric shapes -- circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on -- have the clear edges one achieves when using tools in order to create them. • Organic shapes have natural, less well-defined edges (think: leaves, seashells, flowers, an amoeba, or a cloud – things found in nature). Also known as “free form”. These are Shapes These are Forms

  19. Shape Shape has length and width, but is flat. It is perceived as two-dimensional. (Form has depth, length, and width. It is perceived as three-dimensional.) There are two PARTS of a shapes: • Positive shapes – the solid parts. The objects in a painting • Negative shapes – the space in between the objects/people in the painting. • Which is which 

  20. Shape Shape has length and width, but is flat. It is perceived as two-dimensional. (Form has depth, length, and width. It is perceived as three-dimensional.) Confusion sometimes arises from the terms “shape” and “form.”  A “shape” is an area which stands out because of a defined boundary (a line) or change in color, value or texture. A shape implies a flat, two-dimensional surface. Here we see come circular shapes combined with curving and diagonal lines. By applying charcoal in varying degrees of value (chiaroscuro), an artist can create the illusion o a three-dimensional form (the baseball) where none actually exists (a two-dimensional canvas).
