When working on a design, consider both the shapes you're deliberately incorporating (the positive shapes), and the shapes naturally formed around those shapes (the negative shapes). Geometric shapes, which are defined by perfect, uniform proportions (such as a circle, square, triangle), and organic shapes, which have less well-defined edges, free-flowing proportions, and essentially no rules (such as wiggly, blob-like things that don't fit into any real category). There are two categories of shapes to consider: Shapes: they're not just for preschoolers! A shape can be loosely explained as anything defined by boundaries. Artists can choose to create a composition that revolves mainly around one of these styles of shape, or they can choose to combine both. They look more human-made, structured, and artificial. In contrast, rectilinear shapes are composed of sharp edges and right angles, and give off a sense of order in the composition. They give off a more natural feeling to the shape. Organic shapes can be drawn by hand, which is why they are sometimes subjective and only exist in the imagination of the artist.Ĭurvilinear shapes are composed of curved lines and smooth edges. Organic shapes are irregular shapes that are often complex and resemble shapes that are found in nature.
Geometric shapes or mechanical shapes are shapes that can be drawn using a ruler or compass, such as squares, circles, triangles, ellipses, parallelograms, stars, and so on.
Two types of shapes are called series#
It is created with a series of lines which serve as a boundary that shapes the square and separates it from the space around it that is not part of the square. A shape is defined as a two dimensional area that stands out from the space next to or around it due to a defined or implied boundary, or because of differences of value, color, or texture.įor example, a square that is drawn on a piece of paper is considered a shape.
