In terms of art, form refers to objects that are 3-Dimensional, or have length, width, and height. TheVirtualInstructor.com
Geometric forms have specific names associated with them and are typically man-made. TheVirtualInstructor.com
Organic forms do not have specific names associated with them and are often associated with naturally occurring forms. TheVirtualInstructor.com
When drawing representationally, the goal is to create the illusion of form. TheVirtualInstructor.com
We can create the illusion of form by understanding how light reacts on the object. TheVirtualInstructor.com
The highlight is the area where light is hitting the object directly. TheVirtualInstructor.com
The midtone is the middle value of the local color of the object. TheVirtualInstructor.com
The core shadow is the area(s) that is shaded on the object. TheVirtualInstructor.com
The cast shadow is the area(s) that is shaded on surrounding objects and surfaces because of blocked light. TheVirtualInstructor.com
The reflected highlight is the area on an object that is lighter because of reflected light off of surrounding objects. TheVirtualInstructor.com
