PRINCIPALS of DESIGN - FORM (3 of 16)
The principles of design are the fundamental parts of an artwork. Identifying these principals is one way to understand an artwork.
#3 - FORM
Form is an element of design closely related to shape, but form is always three demensional. A form is measurable by length, width, and height, and encloses volume. Forms can be actual 3-D forms created with sculpture or architecture, or they can be implied forms where the artist creates the illusion of the form onto a flat surface.
While a two-demensional shape can be seen from only one side, a three-demensional shape can be viewed from any side.

Elements of Art:
- LINE: a line is a pathway, either visible of implied, that moves the eye through a piece of work.
- SHAPE: shape is the two-dimensional area taken up by an object.
- FORM: this element refers to the illusion of a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface.
- VALUE: value is the lightness or darkness of a color, or of black.
- TEXTURE: texture in drawing or painting refers to the way we discern the qualitys of an object's surface.
- COLOR: we all know what a "color" is, but not everyone realizes how an artist's choice of color impacts the viewer.
- SPACE: space is the area within the borders of your work; it is what fills the length, width, and perceied depth of a work or art.
