Christian DiorExploring Shape
Like line, shape is an important element in both the rendering and seeing of art, it is used by the artist for three fundamental purposes.
1. To suggest or represent a physical form.
2. To achieve order, variety, and harmony in the composition.
3. To express different qualities of moods and feelings.
The term shape refers to any area of a real or imagined object which is defined and rendered by other elements such as line, texture, colour, space or light. Shapes may be either organic, geometric, symmetrical, or non-symmetrical or a combination of both symmetrical and non-symmetrical. Flat shapes may create the illusion of three dimensions on a two dimensional surface and also appear on the surface of a three dimensional form. Unlike form, shape is actually two dimensional, possessing mass but not volume.
