Shape - Element of Art

Rocks, puddles, flowers, shirts, houses, chairs, and paintings are all shapes and forms.

 

A Shape is a two dimensional area that is defined in some way.  It may have an outline or a boundary around it or you may recognize it by its area.

Shapes are geometric or free form (organic)

Geometric forms are precise shapes that can be described using mathematical formulas (square, rectangle, triangle, circle, hexagon)

Free form shapes are irregular and uneven shapes.  They often occur in nature.  We can also call them organic; a leaf, a puddle.
