1. Shape, Form and Space Objectives
Explain the difference between shape and form
Observe more carefully the shapes and forms in the space around you
Understand the expressive qualities of shapes, spaces and forms in a work of art

2. Shape, Form and Space Vocabulary Form Free-form shape Geometric shape
Positive space
Negative space

3. Shape Shape is a two dimensional area that is defined in some way.
For example if you draw the outline of a circle on a sheet of paper, then you have created a shape
You could also create the same shape with contrasting values

4. Shape
Geometric Shapes are precise shapes that can be described using mathematical formulas
Basic Geometric shapes are circles, squares and triangles.

5. Shape
Free-form shapes are irregular and uneven. Their edges may be curved, angular, or a combination of both

6. Shape and space
Shapes and forms exist in space. All objects take up space.
Shapes and forms are defined by the space around and within them. They depend on space to exist.

7. Shape and Space
In both two-and three-dimensional space, the shapes or forms are called the positive space.
The empty spaces between the shapes or forms are called negative space

8. Positive and Negative
Positive Space is space that is filled with stuff
Negative Space is the empty space around us.
Both Positive and Negative Space have Shape

13. Positive and Negative
Seeing the Negative space as a shape, can help you keep your subject in proportion
Begin by blocking in the negative space as simple shapes

28. Positive and Negative Try to see the subject as Negative Space,
and the background and Positive Space…

29. Positive and Negative
When you are drawing, it is important to consider the shape of negative space.
As an exercise, render a background without a subject. When you see a closed space, try to see it as a distinct shape.
