What about Wassily Kandinsky and his love of circles? Circles can often symbolize focus. Light and dark, male and female, fire and water, and many more. It is made up of two parts (the black and the white), but together it symbolizes the many natural dualities in life. Its black and white design symbolizes complementary forces that fit perfectly together. This ancient symbol is clearly more than just an image, nevertheless it is an artwork worth talking about. Let’s take a look at one of the most famous circles – the Chinese symbol Yin and Yang (Yīnyáng for those who love a bit of Pīnyīn). They are perfectly round, but in the art world, circles are often painted as a derivative of a circle (kinda roundish, but still circular). What Do Circles Symbolize in Art?Ĭircles can symbolize life, unity, focus, movement and perfection. They are a continuous line that have no angles – just a smooooth curve with no beginning and no end. Circles are those round things you keep seeing everywhere. Geometric shapes can be any polygon or ellipse, but to keep things simple (and to not bore you to tears), we’re gonna focus on the big three – circles, triangles and squares! CirclesĪs you may already know. If you’re on a busy city street, you’ll find geometric shapes everywhere you look. Think of a wheel (circle), a roof (triangle) and a door (rectangle). Geometric shapes are often associated with things that are man made. Geometric shapes are created by lines intersecting at particular angles and lengths. Geometric shapes are two-dimensional objects that have a mathematical (and often symmetrical) structure to them. Whereas organic shapes are curvilinear and unpredictable – they include all shapes found in nature. Geometric shapes include circles, squares and triangles. We will then discuss how and why shapes are used in art.Īlrighty, put on your shape pants and let’s begin! What’s the Difference Between Organic and Geometric Shapes? This includes geometric shapes and organic shapes. In this article, we will take a look at the different kinds of shapes using in art. Shapes are the building blocks for all artworks and can be classified as geometric or organic. They are created by lines that intersect or overlap one-another.
Shapes are two-dimensional objects that have a height and a width. Shapes are not only helpful for people who create art, but also for the audience to help them understand an artwork! Without shapes, you won’t get very far in creating a piece of art. They are the building block of every artwork. Shape is one of the seven elements of art.
