FORM AND SHAPE

Form and shape are areas or masses, which define objects in
space. Form & shape imply space, indeed they cannot exist
without space.
There are various ways to categories form and shape. Form and
shape can be thought of as either two-dimensional or three-
dimensional.
Two-dimensional form has width and width and height. It
can also create the illusion of three dimension objects.
Three-dimensional shape has depth as well as width and
height.
Form and shape can also be described as either Organic or
Geometric.
Organic forms such as the snow-covered mountains typically
are irregular in outline, and often asymmetrical. Organic forms
are most often thought of as naturally occurring.
Geometric forms are those, which correspond to named
regular shapes, such as squares, rectangles, circles, cubes,
spheres, cones, and other regular forms. These forms are most
often thought of as constructed or made.
However, not all objects are geometric, many designed forms
have irregular contours.
Shape -Difference Between Shape And
Silhouette:
Shape is the series of lines of different types, which gives a
basic silhouette, from which a design is created. Shape can affect
the proportions and can either be harmonious or contrasting in
its conception. The basic silhouette can be changed by raising or
lowering the hems of shirts, jackets, sleeves, necklines, and also
by widening or narrowing skirts, sleeves or necklines.
