Form & Space

Form

 GEOMETRIC

1. Here the form is a circle drawing in the eye.
2. Here the rectangular form works well for storing things.
3. The pillow is a square form to provide comfort - gotta love that fabric too!
4. These metal balls are a form and are simply used for display.

NATURAL

1. The pine cone is a natural form.
2. The logs are a form in nature.
3. The light sticks are a man-made form of something natural.
4. Of course, flowers are a natural form!

ABSTRACT

1. The burnt candle represents an abstract form of a cylinder.
2. The lamp bottom is also an abstract form of a cylinder.
3. The ball is a abstract form of a circle because of the rough surface.
4. The spiral tree is an abstract form.

NON-OBJECTIVE

1. This water equipment is bright & shiny but not a specific recognizable form.
2. My wrapped breakfast bagel does not take the form of a circle, it is simply non objective.
3. This wall of mirrors are forms of circles but the overall piece is non objective to me.
4. The birds nest is perhaps an abstract circle to some, but to me it is non objective.

STATIC

1. Here, the horizontal and vertical lines equal out making a static image.
2. The desk and the suitcases create calming and stable horizontal lines - static.
3. The bench has calming horizontal lines and there is no movement.
4. Again, these shelves are horizontal and do not show movement.

DYNAMIC

1. Here, the image has movement, the eye travels from front to back throughout.
2. I found this online but the round balcony above shows so much movement I couldn't resist.
3. The desk at the bottom catches the eye and then travels up.
4. The round table has the eye moving around the table.

Space

ACTUAL

The walls show that this is an actual interior space.

 IMPLIED

With the rug, chairs, couch, and coffee table, this presents an implied space.
There may not be walls but the lines are implied.
