A Shape is a two dimensional flat area created when a line meets itself or crosses another line. Examples include a square, a triangle, or a circle.
• A Form has three dimensions, e.g. a cube or a sphere.

Lines define shapes, and shapes create lines.

A Shape is a visually perceived area, and its edges may be defined by color, value, pattern, or texture contrast.

Geometric Shapes
• Can be described by mathematics and drawn with a compass and ruler
• Are precise and generally regular; give an impression of order
• May have straight or curved edges
• Are usually man-made, although some like snowflakes or crystals appear in nature

Many traditional quilts like the mariner’s compass and log cabin use geometric shapes

Free-Form or Organic Shapes
• Can be difficult to describe and can be drawn freehand
• Are generally irregular and may be quite complex
• Can be found in nature, although they can also be created by humans

Abstract Shapes
• Can be a simplified expression of a real object (representational or objective) or express the idea or essence of an object or idea (non-representational or non-objective)
• Are not naturalistic or realistic
• May be geometric or free-form

Positive and Negative Shapes, Tessellations, and Illusions• Simple shapes accompanied by the areas surrounding them in a
contrasting color are interesting to the eye.
• Whole planes can be covered with interlocking shapes (usually geometric) to create a tessellation.
• M.C. Escher improved on this idea by using organic shapes and then transforming them to other shapes.
• Illusions can be created by the careful placement of negative and positive shapes that trick the eye and or brain.
