The terms shape and form might seem like they are interchangeable in the world of art.  Not so.  In fact, I designed this free digital course to help your kiddos get first hand experience with identifying shape and form in art.  They’ll also get a hands on tutorial on how to turn a shape into a form through a simple pencil drawing tutorial.

Shape and form are elements of art…

The elements of art are building blocks of art.  Shape and from are two of the seven elements of art. The other elements are color, value, texture, line, and space.

Every work of art can be talked about by how the elements are used in it.  Teaching your kids the elements of art not only gives them a framework for how to create their own artwork but it gives them a vocabulary for talking about the artwork of others.

The elements are a great jumping off point for all kinds of art discussions.  Check out this post for all kinds of free elements of art printable resources.

Form and shape are different…

I think I may have used the terms form and shape interchangeably until I was in the throes of college as an art major.  They seem the same.  They’re not.

Shapes are flat.  They can be any enclosed, two dimensional area, whether organic or geometric.

Forms are fat. They are three dimensional and take up space.  Or…..forms can have the illusion of taking up space.
