3. DEFINE SHAPE:
 . A shape is an element of art. Specifically, it is
an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are
defined by other elements of art (i.e.: lines, colors,
values, textures, etc.). Shapes are limited to two
dimensions: length and width.

5.  Geometric shape
CATEGORY OF SHAPE:
 Organic shape

6. DEFINITION OF ORGANIC
SHAPE
Are shapes with a natural look and a flowing and
curving appearance.
Organic shapes and forms are typically irregular or
asymmetrical.
Organic shapes are associated with things from the
natural world, like plants and animals.

7. ORGANIC SHAPE IN ART:
 . Organic shapes are forms that, unlike geometric shapes,
don't have perfect or uniform measurements .Generally,
these types of shapes are found primarily in nature, such as
in clouds, plants, or even people, but you can find them in
man-made items or structures, as well, such as contemporary
buildings

D IFFER EN T WAY S:
 When attempting to create a piece that looks natural, flowing,
soft or calming, organic shapes are generally the shapes of
choice.
 When attempting to create a sense of chaos, anger, or
rigidity, geometric shapes are used. Geometric shapes may also
be used to create abstract interpretations of things that would
normally be depicted as organic shapes.

10. PROBLEMS:
 Organic shapes, whether used in art or in landscaping, can be difficult to
create. A curving or flowing line that curves too far can look man-made and
detract from the natural look. This makes patterns of this style somewhat
time consuming to make.
 Whereas geometric shapes provide clear guidelines for how a person
should construct them, there is no set pattern for how to make an organic
one. This gives a person a lot of flexibility in terms of how he designs and
what he can create, but it also makes it challenging to describe or precisely
recreate an organic pattern that is already made.

11. ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY:
 Technology is addressing some of the issues with making
natural-looking organic shapes. Developers are making
computer aided design (CAD) programs for areas such as
graphic design that use complex codes and algorithms to
generate images that look free form.

12.  Are circles, rectangles, squares,
triangles and so on - have the clear
edges one achieves when using tools to
create them.
 Most geometric shapes are made by
humans, though crystals are also
considered to be geometric despite the
fact that they are made in nature.
 Are shapes with a natural look and
a flowing and curving appearance.
 Organic shapes and forms are
typically irregular or asymmetrical.
 Organic shapes are associated with
things from the natural world, like
plants and animals.
DIFFERENCE
Geometric Shape: Organic Shape:

13. DIFFERENCE:

14. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
 Free form figures may be positive or negative, similar to
geometric ones. Positive means that the shape has something
inside of it, such as the irregular image of a face where two
eyes are drawn in. Negative means that only the outline is
complete and that the figure is empty.

15. POSITIVE & NEGATIVE:

16. COMBINING:
 You can use the two types together to create really
interesting designs. If everything was just organic or just
geometric, it would get very boring. Combining the two
give visual interest.
