Organic vs. Geometric
• ORGANICshapes are freeform, irregular, (generally) do not have a specific descriptive name
• GEOMETRICshapes are calculated mathematically, generally symmetrical, and generally have specific names

• FORMis 3-dimensional OR looks like it is 3-D

Shapes of value show form

Color and value changes to show
form

How colors look
• Warm colors tend to advance toward the viewer
• Cool colors tend to recede toward the background

Organic or geometric shapes?
• Each object is broken down into flat areas of light and dark

Your assignment:
• Create 1 composition, consider
– geometric, simplified shapes (straight, angular)
– organic, irregular shapes (rounded, irregular)
• Composition should be based* on photos
– Look at how color and value create shapes and forms
• Break objects down into shapes of color and value
– Distinguish objects from the background using warm and cool colors
*does not need to exactly replicate the photo, but should use shapes of value as a guide to show form
