The document discusses two types of shapes used in art - geometric and organic shapes. Geometric shapes are precise shapes like squares, circles, and triangles that follow set rules. Organic shapes are more free-form shapes found in nature like leaves or raindrops. The document instructs students to create a piece of artwork using both geometric and organic shapes by overlapping them with markers and paint. Tips are provided on using color, staying in lines, and including a variety of shapes.
3. These are the shapes you
already know and have
names for. You may learn
about these shapes in
math as well.
Some examples include:
squares, circles, triangles,
and hexagons
4. Organic shapes are not so
precise and don’t have a set of
rules (for instance, a square
has four equal sides). Many of
these “free-form” shapes are
found in nature.
Some examples include the
outline of a leaf or the shape
rain water makes in a puddle.
5. Shape is in all types of art.
Some artists like Mondrian and Miro
based their art just on shape.
11. The Objective:
Learn and identify the two types of
shapes in art.
The Product:
I will create a piece of artwork utilizing
geometric and organic shape.
12. Using a ruler and black permanent marker you will
create a series of overlapping geometric and organic
shapes. You will color or paint these in to highlight the
new shapes that are formed when overlapping is used.
13. Tips:
Use interesting color.
Stay inside of the lines.
Use pencil first, THEN permanent marker.
Use a ruler or the edge of a book for straight edges.
Try making the colors go from dark to light in the same box.
Make your shapes a variety of sizes.
Don’t make too few shapes.
