Elements of Form

Exploration of 2D and 3D forms

Elements of Form - I

First stage of Elements-of-Form pertains to extraction of elements like line, shape, texture to create a unique form/shape in 2 dimensional forms using Gestalt principles and manipulation of characters like radius.

The skills and techniques provided to the students are as follows:
• Practice and training of the visual system (eye) to see and observe things in detail and reproduce and externalize the image through dreaming.
• Through different dreaming tasks students are taught the physical aspects of learning to draw for the purpose of designing.

In this stage students also develop a sense of geometry like:
• Simple geometric forms, seeing the inner geometry of forms, sense of perspective.
• Dreaming of objects, structures, spaces, natural forms and environment and visual analysis of objects.

Methodology:
With the help of 2D drawings, students would work on abstractions, composition and manipulation of elements to create new forms.

Class Assignment:
• To develop to 2D from the forms by selecting any shapes.
• To develop further into a useful 2D shapes by manipulating and transforming the external shapes.
• To explore more 2D shapes.
