Categories of Shapes:Geometric Shapes-Circles, Squares, rectangles and

triangles. We see them in architecture and manufactured

items.

Organic Shapes-Leaf, seashells, flowers. We see them in

nature and with characteristics that are free flowing, informal

and irregular.

Positive Shapes-In a drawing or painting positive shapes are

the solid forms in a design such as a bowl of fruit. In a

sculpture it is the solid form of the sculpture.

Negative Shapes-In a drawing it is the space around the

positive shape or the shape around the bowl of fruit. In

sculpture it is the empty shape around and between

the sculptures.

The shapes of the objectsthat you create or place in

your images are positive

shapes.

The spaces around these

shapes are the negative

spaces. It is just as

important to be attentive to

the negative space as the

positive shapes.


11/15

Positive Shapes (in black) vs. Negative Shapes (in white)

Notice how the

negative shapes arejust are interesting as

the black positive

shapes of the smoke.

A shape is a selfcontained defined

area ofgeometric or

organic form. A

positive shape in a

painting automaticallycreates a negative

shape.
