The 3D aspect of an object, created through the use of light and shadow, and other techniques. It can be geometric or organic.
Shape: Refers to the two-dimensional area within an artwork, defined by its edges and boundaries.
Form: Refers to the three-dimensional aspect of an artwork, defined by its height, width, and depth.
Volume: Refers to the amount of space occupied by an object or form.
Mass: Refers to the weight, density, or solidity of an object.
Texture: Refers to the surface quality of an object or form, which can be tactile or visual.
Space: Refers to the area around, between, and within objects or forms.
Perspective: Refers to the technique used to create the illusion of depth and space on a two-dimensional surface.
Proportion: Refers to the comparative relationship between the parts of an object or form and the whole.
Scale: Refers to the relative size or magnitude of an object or form in relation to its surroundings.
Composition: Refers to the arrangement of visual elements within an artwork, including the use of balance, emphasis, and contrast.
Line: Refers to the continuous mark made on a surface, which can be used to create shape and form.
Light: Refers to the illumination of an object or form, which can create shadow, highlight, and contrast.
Color: Refers to the hue, saturation, and value of an object or form, which can create mood, emotion, and atmosphere.
Contrast: Refers to the use of difference between elements to create visual interest and emphasis.
Harmony: Refers to the use of similarity and repetition to create a sense of unity and coherence within an artwork.
Movement: Refers to the visual flow and direction within an artwork, which can create a sense of rhythm and energy.
Pattern: Refers to the repetition of visual elements, which can create a sense of order or decoration.
Texture: Refers to the surface quality of an object or form, which can be tactile or visual.
Symmetry and asymmetry: Refers to the balanced or unbalanced distribution of visual elements within an artwork.
Unity: Refers to the overall sense of cohesion and completeness within an artwork, which can be achieved through the use of various visual elements.
Geometric Form: These are precise, regular and measurable shapes. Examples include circles, squares, triangles, cubes, spheres, etc.
Organic Form: These are irregular and asymmetrical shapes that are found in nature. Examples include leaves, trees, rocks, clouds, etc.
Abstract Form: These do not represent any recognizable object but are rather shapes or designs that are created from imagination or manipulation of existing forms.
Three-Dimensional Form: These are physical objects that have length, width, and height. Examples include sculptures, installations, and architectural structures.
Two-Dimensional Form: These are works on a flat surface that lack depth or a third dimension. Examples include paintings, drawings, and prints.
Positive Form: These are elements that occupy space and are the main focus of a composition. Examples include figures, objects, and shapes that stand out.
Negative Form: These are the spaces surrounding objects or shapes in a composition. These spaces can also be the focus of attention and should be used effectively to create balance and harmony.
Open Form: These are shapes with undefined edges and irregular contours that appear to be expanding or spreading out of the composition.
Closed Form: These are shapes or objects with defined edges and shapes that are self-contained and appear to be confined within a particular area of the composition.
Complex Form: These are forms that are made up of different shapes, textures, colors, and patterns that create a sense of depth and visual interest.
Simple Form: These are forms that are made up of basic shapes, textures, colors, and patterns that create a sense of unity and balance.
Biomorphic Form: These are abstract shapes that resemble living organisms and are often associated with biomorphic and surrealistic art movements.
Amorphic Form: These are abstract shapes that lack any recognizable form, shape or pattern.
Realistic Form: These are forms that represent objects or forms found in reality, often depicted with great accuracy.
Stylized Form: These are forms that have been simplified, refined, or abstracted from reality to create a unique style, often associated with different periods of art history.
Distorted Form: These are forms that have been exaggerated or manipulated in a way that creates a sense of unease or tension.
Illuminated Form: These are forms that are created using light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume.
Textured Form: These are forms that are created using different textures and surfaces to create a variety of visual effects, ranging from smooth to rough, matte to glossy.
Fragmented Form: These are forms that are broken up into smaller parts or sections and arranged in a way that creates a sense of motion or dynamism.
Monochrome Form: These are forms that are created using a single color or shades of the same color to create a sense of unity and coherence.
