Types of form:

Shapes or Visual Forms can be classified according to their particular contents.

Representational Form:

Any form that contains a recognizable subject and represents it is called representational form.

Fig.17: Representational forms resemble real objects.

Non-representational Form:

If a form cannot be recognized partially (semi abstract) but to some extent it is vivid to understand is considered to be a non-representational form or semi abstract form. Such forms cannot suggest proper volume of the object and space in particular (Fig.18).

Fig.18: Non-representational forms are semi abstract forms.

Natural Forms:

Representational forms can be further divided into sub classes of natural forms where the form replicates some subject found in nature. Natural forms include living organisms and any inanimate objects (Fig.19).
