Slide 2: Shapes are categorized as Geometric or Organic. Geometric shapes are usually angular and appear frequently in man-made objects. Organic shapes are usually more rounded and appear most often in nature. Now we'll see why Shape is an important Element Of Art. apcalis oral jelly apcalis oral jelly apcalis oral jelly
Slide 3: apcalis oral j elly Wherever the ends of a continuous line meet, a shape is formed. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
Slide 4: The decoration on this ceramic jar illustrates an unusual harmony between geometric and organic shapes. The artist has achieved a perfect balance between the two. Even the shape of the jar itself is a perfect combination, which is an oval when seen from the side and a circle when seen from above.
Slide 5: If you look around you, you will notice that almost everything we see is made up of a Shape or combination of Shapes. Some of the more common ones we have given names to, circle, square and rectangle. Donald Judd, 1928-1994 Untitled, 1969 anodized aluminum ten elements: 27 x 24 x 6 in. each box
Slide 6: Others are so unique we call them freeform shapes. William Baziotes Opalescent 1962 oil on canvas
Slide 7: Lines are used to draw Shapes. Artists draw Shapes when they are making preliminary sketches for a drawing, painting or sculpture. In the art room it is often said "if you can draw the shapes, you can draw anything". Jean Metzinger Still Life 1921 Oil on canvas
Slide 8: This unique painting appears to be all about shapes. The shapes are squares and rectangles. This includes the spaces between the colored shapes as well. Even the shape of the canvas reflects the square patterns in the painting. Here Mondrian uses shape to convey his ideas about the mechanisms of the world. Mondrian was inspired by New York's Broadway and Boogie-woogie music. Piet Mondrian, (Dutch) 1872-1944, BoogieWoogie, 1942-43. Oil on canvas, 50 x 50"
Slide 9: This jaguar mask from Mexico also emphasizes Shape. What shapes do you see? Are they Geometric, Organic or both? Are the shapes arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically? Artist Unknown, Mexico, Jaguar Mask, 1998, Wood, paint, leather and boar's hair and teeth
Slide 10: How many shapes do you recognize in this work? Why do you think you notice the shapes first in this sculpture? This is an assemblage. Nevelson collected scraps of wood and assembled this sculpture. She painted it one color. By doing this, the viewer is made more aware of the many shapes of the wood and the spaces between the wood. Louise Nevelson (American, born Russia), 1900-1988, Sky Cathedral, 1958 wood, painted black, 115 x 135 x 20
Slide 11: Surrealism promoted the free play of ideas and imagination in the arts. The Spanish painter Joan Miró let shapes and forms emerge spontaneously as he worked, rather than through careful planning. To create The Policeman, one of his "dream paintings," Miró poured, brushed, and wiped with rags large areas of washes and glazes of paint on the surface of the canvas. Joan Miro (Spanish) 1893-1983, The Policeman, Oil on canvas,1925
Slide 12: Marcel Duchamp's famous painting, "A Nude Descending a Staircase" shows the repeated use of geometric shapes. The multiple use of the same geometric shape was not only decorative, but demonstrated how a painting could show movement.
Slide 13: •Free-form or organic shapes are irregular and uneven shapes. •Their outlines may be curved, angular, or a combination of both. •They often occur in nature •These shapes may be silhouettes of living things, such as animals, people, or trees
Slide 14: •Geometric shapes are precise shapes. •The basic geometric shapes are the circle, square, triangle. •Other geometric shapes are either variations or combinations of these basic shapes. These are the oval, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, pentagon, pentagram, hexagon, and octagon. •They are used for decoration, uniformity, and organization.
Slide 15: Shapes can be thought of as positive or negative. In a two dimensional composition, the objects constitute the positive forms, while the background is the negative space
Slide 16: Positive shapes occupy positive space. The area around positive shapes, the background, is negative space. A solid piece of sculpture occupies space, and makes the space around it come to life. In this diagram, the negative shapes are as clear and distinct as the positive shapes.
Slide 17: David Smith Cubi IX 1961 stainless steel The negative shape inside this sculpture repeats the overall structure of the sculptor's positive shapes. The geometry of the boxes piled high emphasizes gravity, and the negative shape in the middle of the sculpture gives it a light, playful appearance.
Slide 18: Magdalene Odundo Reduced Black Piece 1990 Ceramic In this ceramic vase the negative shapes on either side of the upper neck nearly mirror the lower bulbous, positive shape. The result is a dramatic and finely balanced work of art.
Slide 19: What do you read as the positive shapes in this image? What makes them appear so? Where are the negatives? Can you visually push the positives back and pull the negatives forward? What do you see? This is a simple visual trick, but it makes an important point about how shapes work.
Slide 21: Louise Nevelson Case with Five Balusters 1959 wood, paint Many artists use shapes that may appear similar to both geometric and organic shapes. In this sculpture the artist used found shapes with straight and curved edges. The relationship of the shapes to one another is emphasized by the neutral color of the sculpture and the play of shadows and light.

Slide 23: Guernica, 1937 Picasso
Slide 24: Optical Art is a mathematically-theme form of Abstract art, which uses repetition of simple shapes and colors to create vibrating effects, foreground-background confusion, an exaggerated sense of depth, and other visual effects.
Slide 25: In the 1960's, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe the work of a growing group of abstract painters. This movement was led by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Blaze 1964

Slide 31: These are separate circles, not a spiral.
Slide 32: These dots are completely white.
Slide 34: "Rotating rays" The outer ring of rays appears to rotate clockwise while the inner one counterclockwise
Slide 35: "The autumn color swamp" The inset appears to move.
Slide 36: "A bulge" The floor appears to bulge out, though this image consists of only squares.
Slide 37: "Primrose's field" This checkered background consists of squares but appears to wave. In addition, this figure also shows a waving motion illusion.
Slide 38: "Uzumaki ampan" Concentric gray circles appear to be spirals.
Slide 39: "Rollers" Rollers appear to rotate without effort. On the other hand, they appear to rotate in the opposite direction when observers see this image keeping blinking.
