The document defines and discusses the elements of shape and form in art. It defines shape as a 2D object with height and width, and form as a 3D object with height, width and depth. There are two types of shapes - geometric shapes defined by math and organic shapes derived from living things. Common forms include cones, spheres, cylinders and pyramids. Forms can be made from shapes by adding contour lines, shading, or using perspective.

The Elements of Art:
Shape and Form
RUVEL T. ALBINO MAPEH –ART TEACHER Definition Shape is a closed 2-dimensional object shown by a line or edge
2-dimensional (2D) = has height and width
Types of Shapes Geometric Shapes: Are 2-dimensional shapes that can be created or analyzed using mathematical equations Types of Shapes Organic Shapes: A 2-dimensional shape that is related to or derived from living matter Form - A 3-dimensional object on a picture plane. - 3-dimensional (3D) = has height, width and depth
Forms may be REAL or IMPLIED.
Kinds of Forms - Cone - Sphere - Cylinder - Pyramid - Cube - Triangular prism - Rectangular prism - Etc. Ways to turn a shape into a form Detailed contour line drawing
