Exploring Three-Dimensional Forms: Rectilinear, Angular, and Curved Shapes

DESCRIPTION

This guide delves into the concept of three-dimensional forms, defining what form is and how it encompasses various shapes like spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes, and pyramids. We explore rectilinear forms, emphasizing their stability and efficiency in home design, alongside the vibrancy of angular forms that add energy to spaces. Curved forms are also examined for their natural aesthetic and unifying characteristics. Activities include creating 3D shapes with playdough or paper and reflecting on design elements, blending creativity and structure.

Presentation Transcript

  1. The next element is FORM

  2. Form • Three dimensional • Encloses space • Spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes, pyramids....

  3. Form • 3 dimensional, has height, width and depth Form can suggest:• emotions• feelings• ideas.

  4. Rectilinear Forms • the pattern created by lines running side by side (parallel) and intersecting with lines running at right angles (perpendicular) to the parallel lines • The most common used form in homes

  5. Rectilinear Forms… • The reasons rectilinear forms are used so much are: • These forms fit together well, and conserve space. • These forms are easy to fit on drafting boards and easy to measure and build. • This form feels stable and secure, because it has 90 degree angles, solid. • This form establishes unity when repeated.

  6. What is the danger of using this form too much? • this form could feel harsh and monotonous in a home or business • Example of rectilinear forms include: refrigerators, doors, windows, rugs, pillows, beds….what else can you think of?

  7. Angular Forms • Shapes having one or more sharp angles • These include Triangles and pyramids and are found in most Rooflines • In modern homes they hold attention, and they also make things look larger. • They are the STRONGEST shape

  8. What do diagonals do to room? • Add interest • Create a more lively feel • Gives the room more movement

  9. Angular forms can appear sharp, energetic and even explosive.

  10. Curved Forms • Combine continuity and change • They also bring to mind things found in nature like: flowers, trees, clouds

  11. Three unique qualities circles and spheres have are: • They resist breakage-no corners, they are economical forms. • They remind a person of motion-wheels. • Provide unity-every point on the edge is equidistant from the middle.

  12. Curved Lines… • Examples of curved lines include: Plates, bowls • We usually don’t find homes made of cylinder, sphere, or dome shapes

  13. For next class… bring something with texture. Form assignment • Using the shape you drew, make the shape into a 3 dimensional form out of playdough or paper. • Or draw a sphere, column, or cube using lines and shadowing to show 3 dimensional form. • Color and make the form using the handout • In your notes, write a paragraph about how this assignment is an example of line, shape, and form.
