3. Form

Ready to use, no prep: teach the element of form with 23 illustrated slides on 3D form, light and shading. Students go from shape vs. form to shading spheres, cubes, cylinders and cones, then see form in sculpture, ceramics and fashion.

Ready to use. No prep. Simply beautiful.

Open the file and start teaching. This Form deck is fully finished and classroom-ready, with nothing to build, edit or rearrange, so you can spend your time with students instead of making slides. Every slide is designed in a rich artistic style, with botanical borders, elegant vintage lettering and detailed sketchbook-style illustrations. The drawings and illustrations inside the deck inspire students with new ideas for their own artwork. Professional, polished and as beautiful as the art you teach.

This deck shows students how a flat shape becomes a believable 3D form, then carries that skill into drawing, sculpture and design.

What’s inside

What is form? Shape vs. form Geometric and organic forms; form, mass and volume Light creates form, and the five-part value system Step-by-step: shading a sphere, a cube, cylinders and cones Contour and cross-contour; constructing complex objects Form in observational drawing; faces and figures as forms Form in perspective Additive and subtractive form; sculpture materials Form in ceramics and in fashion design Form Study Challenge
