FORMS

 FORMS

-Form is the visible shape or configuration of something

-It can be three dimensional or two dimensional

-Space can help us identify if a form is 3D or 2D

 2D vs 3D

Space can be felt in a sculpture group because of the

clustering and overlapping of forms. This helps us
2D recognize and identify three-dimensional forms. Space
is a strong element in establishing a sense of form.

ARCHITECTURAL FORMS
ARCHITECTURAL FORMS
Architectural forms usually
contain enclosed spaces for
various activities.
NATURAL FORMS
In nature, forms are easily seen because we are
surrounded by them. Mountain, trees, animal, rocks,
and people are example of natural forms
 GEOMETRIC and
ORGANIC FORMS
Sculpted geometric forms are straight-
edged while sculpted organic forms
are rounded and flowing.

REALISTIC FORMS

Realistic forms depict people,

animals, and plants as they might
actually appear.
 FORM
ACTIVITIES
• organic form
• wire sculpture
• natural form
• geometric forms
• shading to create three-dimensional form
 ORGANIC FORM
Draw an animal on a piece of paper to make a two-
dimensional drawing of an organic shape. With a
piece of clay, model the same animal into a three-
dimensional form. This is an organic form
WIRE SCULPTURE
Make a three-dimensional wire sculpture of an animal as
an example of organic form created with a different
medium.
NATURAL FORMS

In nature, there are many natural forms. This includes

everything from rocks, flowers, trees, shells, animals, and
vegetables. Collect some natural forms and make a still-life
drawing using them as a subject.
GEOMETRIC FORMS
Using pieces of wood, carboard, or foam core, construct a sculpture
using geometric forms which are angular or squarish, and have
straight edges.
SHADING TO CREATE THREE-
DIMENSIONAL FORMS

Make a two-dimensional
drawing of a sphere, cylinder,
and rectangular box. Choose a
light source and add shading
to the drawing to create a
three-dimensional form.
