Form is any three dimensional object. Form can be measured, from top to bottom (height), side to side (width),
and from back to front (depth). Form is also defined by light and dark.
There are two types of form, geometric (man-made) and natural (organic form).
Form may be created by the combining of two or more shapes. It may be enhanced by tone, texture and colour.
It can be illustrated or constructed.
