shape| Form of an object, defined by its outline. Plane shapes are two-dimensional; solid shapes are three-dimensional. |
shape| In art, a two-dimensional area defined by a clear border or outline; it is one of the formal art elements. Shapes have only height and width, and can be set off by the other formal art elements. Shape is closely linked to form, a three-dimensional shape; for example, one side of a pyramidal form is a triangular shape. Like form, shapes can be organic (irregular, free-flowing, and recalling the natural world) or geometric (regular, rigid, and suggestive of artificial structures). |
| Geometric shapes include circles, rectangles, or hexagons; organic shapes include two-dimensional representations of flowers, clouds, waves, and animals. |
