Organic forms are irregular shapes seen in nature that are typically free-form and asymmetrical. The Geometric forms are derived from distinct, uniform, angular, consistent geometric shapes such as cubes, spheres, pyramids, and cylinders. In art, there are two types of forms: geometric and organic forms. The form is tangible in sculptural pieces, however, in paintings and drawings, the impression of depth must be indicated through the application of light and the contrasting of highlights and shaded areas. When we analyze form art examples, we may observe that it appears in both implied and real ways.
