A form is an object that has 3 dimensions.  Like shapes, forms can be geometric or free form.   Also similar to shapes they have length and width, but forms also have depth.

LENGTH + WIDTH + DEPTH

 

 

 There are many categories of forms.  Architectural forms refer to buildings.   Natural forms occur in nature.  Geometric forms have a geometric shape as a base.  Abstract forms can also be called free from or geometric and have no reference to any geometric shape.  Realistic forms are 3D objects which may be geometric or freeform, but is a recognizable form, such as a chair.

Shapes can become Forms with shading or perspective.  A circle can become a sphere or a cylinder.  A square becomes a cube.  A triangle becomes a pyramid or a cone.
