Q

Example of Geometric Form

A

Pyramid
Cube
Sphere
Cone
cylinder

17
Q

3 dimensional shape that is free flowing, curvy, sinewy and not symmetrical or easily measurable or named

characterized by smooth, curved lines and contours that suggest movement, growth, and life. They lack the strict symmetry and mathematical precision of geometric forms, reflecting the irregularities and complexities found in nature.

A

Organic Form

18
Q

Difference between Shape and Form

A

shape is two-dimensional and exists on a surface, while form is three-dimensional, occupying space and having volume. Shapes are typically flat and static, while forms have depth and can be viewed from multiple angles, allowing for a more immersive experience.

Value

23
Q

Also called chroma/saturation
Comprises the degree of purity or vividness of a hue
