3
ShapeAn area
that can be measured
in two dimensions:
length and width.
4
Geometric Shapes
Wassily Kandinsky, Geflecht von Oben(Network from Above) 1927
Shapes that can be described using a mathematical formula.
5
Paul Klee, Landscape with Yellow Birds
Organic (Free-Form) Shapes
Shapes
derived
from nature.

Form

measured in three dimensions:
length,
width
and
height.
7

Barbara Hepworth, Family of Man, 1970
8
Henry Moore, Family Group, 1950

Areas of white
in an artwork
which show

15
Perspective A visual system that creates

Perspective Techniques
18
Perspective Techniques
Placement
Putting some objectslower in the picture than others.
The lowest objectsappear closest to the viewer.
19
Perspective TechniquesDetail
Rendering objects with intricate contours
and decorations.
Objects with the most details
appear closest.
20
Perspective Techniques
Atmospheric Perspective
The affects of light and moisture in the atmosphere.
Faded objects appear farther away than intensely colored objects.
21
Perspective Techniques
Lines that appear
to get closer
the farther away
they are.
Converging Lines
