Answer:
The form in drawing, painting or other artistic expressions can be:
- Figurative Forms: They are the forms of real figures or images, which we also call defined shapes, because just looking at them we already identify what they are. For example: an apple and a glass.
- Abstract Forms: These are the ones we designed with freedom of expression, as we saw in the previous units. They are also called indefinite forms. For example: Stains.
- Geometric Forms: We perceive these forms in most of the objects that surround us, as they are projected from geometric figures. For example: a can of pea has the shape of a cylinder or the shape of a rectangle.
The construction of a figurative drawing starts from the notion of joining shapes, that is, creating the structure, the basis of the drawing. For example, when drawing a person. First, you create a circle or an oval shape to create a head, then a rectangle to create a trunk and so you join different shapes that will give the structural idea of the outline of this drawing.
