SHAPE AND FORM

Unit 2 Elements of Design

Remember our Nilla Wafer?

Page 3: Which cookie tastes best?

Shape is… Connecting lines, like a circle, square,

rectangle, or triangle.

3 different types of shape. Rectilinear ; mirrors, pillows, trays,

rugs, windows and doors

Angular; “triangles” window treatments, Christmas tree, accessories

Circular; picture frames, clocks, rugs

Shape is a 2 dimensional object

Shape is defined as the framework, or identifiable structure of an object.

Creating effects with FORM Form can be used to achieve certain

effects. › Large heavy objects such as a piano or

sofa, give the feeling of stability. Their massive appearance adds a solid feeling to a room.

› Placing several small objects together can create the same feelings.

› Long, low tables achieve the same effect because of their shape.

Weight and FORM Weight is an important factor when

considering form. A designer is more concerned with an objects apparent weight than its actual weight.

Ex: Beige sofa against a beige wall vs. a sofa with a denim slip cover against a light colored wall.

The size of a form is judged in its context. Ex: The pyramids in Egypt look much

larger in the desert than they would near mountains.

RECTLINEAR FORMS this form is the most commonly used in our homes. Most of our

rooms follow this form, and many pieces of furniture and accessories are also rectilinear. This is true for many reasons:1.This form fits easily on drafting boards, building sites and

machines in factories.2.These forms fit together well and conserve space.3.This form feels stable and secure because of 90 degree angles.4.This form establishes unity and rhythm when repeated.

There is danger of this form feeling harsh or monotonous. However, when placed on a diagonal, it becomes a dynamic element. In summary, these shapes create many different effects, depending on the way they are used, the size, the color, and placement.

Some examples of square and rectangular shapes used in a house are: refrigerators, beds, dish washer, windows, and doors;

ANGULAR FORMS Angular forms include triangles and pyramids.

These are found in most sloping roofs. In modern homes, they also used as angled walls, which add a great deal of life to a room. They are more flexible than rectangles because the angles can be manipulated in many ways. They are the stronger shape. Diagonals usually make things look larger. They also suggest motion and are less common, so they hold attention.

Some examples of triangular shapes used in our homes: cones, lamp shades, Christmas trees

CURVED FORMSCurved forms combine continuity and change. They bring to mind

things found in nature: flowers, trees, bodies, or clouds.

Circles and spheres have unique qualities:1. They are conservative and economical forms because they

resist breakage.2. They remind us of motion, probably because they remind us

of balls.3. They provide great unity – every point on the edge is

equidistant from the center.

we usually do not find a home that is made from rectangles, triangles, or circles, however, we do find combinations of these various shapes.
