Shape, Form, and Space

SHAPE - a two-dimensional area that is defined in some way. FORMS- are three-dimensional. They are like shapes because they have length and width, but they also have depth.SPACE-is the element that refers to the emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or within objects. In both two- and three-dimensional art, the shapes and forms are called the positive space, or the figure.

Form and shape can also be described as either organic or geometric.ORGANIC FORM

typically are irregular in outline, and often asymmetrical. Organic forms are most often thought of as naturally occurring.

 GEOMETRIC FORM are precise shapes that can be described using mathematical formulas. 

There  are  some  other  terms  commonly  used  to  describe  form  and  shape  in composition; these have to do with what kind of representations the forms have.  If we can  recognize  every  day  objects  and  environments,  we  refer  to  the  images  as being realistic,  or naturalistic.  However,  if  the  images  are  difficult  or  impossible  to identify  in  terms  of  our  normal,  daily  visual  experience,  we  may  refer  to  the  images as abstract.

Two Dimensional Form

 is the foundation of pictorial organization or composition in painting, photography, and many other media. It is created in a number of ways. It can be defined by line, form, hue contrasts, gradations and change in texture.

Three Dimensional Form

Three dimensional shape and space is the basis of architecture and most designed objects.  There  are  added  design  considerations  in  that  the  object  will  be experienced from more than one side.
