Elements of Art - Shape
1. Shape
[An area that stands out from its
surroundings because of a defined or
implied boundary or because of
differences of value, color or texture]
2. There are two types of shape:
• Geometric: These are shapes
you recognize and know the
names for. They have exact
measurements and are not
frequently seen in nature. You
may recognize them from math
class.
Organic: These are also known as
“freeform” shapes. They are more
unpredictable and flowing in
appearance. Many of these are
found in nature (i.e. leaves, fruit,
trees)
3. Geometric shapes in art…

6. Project 3 - SHAPE
Objectives:
• To utilize collage as a means of achieving
compositional goals
• To explore the use of shape in a 2D design
utilizing both positive/negative space
• To experiment with a wide range of materials
to create focal point, spatial depth, volume
and mood
7. Preliminary (Sketchbook) Work:
• 10 photos of possible compositions (cropped areas of your
Line project), printed and pasted into your sketchbook
• 4 photos of possible collaged compositions (bring collage
materials to class, arrange and photograph as you go)
• One full-page compositional sketch of what your final piece
will look like, including possible textures/materials lists
Materials:
• 1 sheet black illustration board, size 15x22”. Your design
should measure 12x18” on the page
• Collage/drawing materials: bring a huge variety so that you
can pick and choose what works!
8. Process
Create a composition by cropping out a small section of
your line project. The negative and positive space should be
of equal interest. On a 15x22” piece of black illustration
board, recreate your cropped version with black and white
collage materials. You may supplement your collage
materials with drawing materials like white, black and grey
colored pencils. No one material should dominate the
composition. Try to create a focal point, spatial depth, and
volume with a wide range of value. Consider the overall
balance of the piece. Try to match your collage to the
original section as much as possible.

9. • **Examples of Collage Materials: Fabrics, cut paper, broken
eggshells, dry pasta/beans, sand, small rocks, buttons, beads,
found objects, twigs, leaves, etc. Just make sure your objects are
workable, black&white (or can be painted to be b&w) and can be
glued down to imitate the textures you’re going for.
