Art Elements 4 - Form

If the first element of art is line and the second element is shape, the next logical element is form.

Line is one dimensional. Shape has two dimensions. Form is created when a shape takes on three dimensions. The three-dimensional character of form can be real, as in a sculpture. Or it can be implied, as in a 3-D drawing.

Here are some great web pages and tutorials that will help you understand form and how it works in art.
