Shape and form are both Elements of Art, respectively. But what’s the difference between a shape and a form? Shapes are flat, and therefore, 2 dimensional (2D)… essentially, a shape is a line that encloses itself and creates an area. Shapes only have 2 dimensions (length and width). Forms, on the other hand, are not flat… they’re 3 dimensional (3D). Therefore, forms have a length, width and height. They take up space in a way 2D things can’t. They also have volume. Who said art isn’t related to math?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORM<\/strong>
Examples of 3D forms… cubes, rectangular prisms, pyramids, spheres

In art forms can be “implied” or “actual”… when forms are implied in an artwork, the artist creates an illusion… an artist may paint a cylinder for example, and it may look 3D dimensional… but it’s still not real. At least not in the same way an actual cylinder is. That is, it’s still flat. It’s just drawing \ud83d\ude42 On the other hand, if you made a cylinder out of clay… now you’re talking actual form. Real form<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of 2D Art… a painting of a self portrait on canvas, a pencil drawing of a cat on paper, a colored pencil design of your name on cardboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This value drawing of Spongebob is an example of 2D art. It’s a drawing on a flat surface.<\/em>

In constrast, this cardboard figure of Spongebob is an example of 3D art. It’s not a flat surface. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
