Flat vs three-dimensional
- A shape 形状 is a flat, enclosed area with a boundary.
- A form 形体 has the illusion of three dimensions — height, width, and depth.
- Shape is 2-D; form gives the feeling of solidity.
平面与立体
- 形状(shape)是有边界的平面封闭区域。
- 形体(form)有三维的错觉——高、宽、深。
- 形状是二维的;形体给出立体的感觉。
An area that gives the illusion of three dimensions is a... · 一个给人三维错觉的区域是...
A form looks 3-D (height, width, depth); a shape is flat. · 形状 (Form) 看起来是3-D的（高度、宽度、深度）；形态 (Shape) 是扁平的。
Geometric and organic
- Geometric 几何 shapes are regular and mechanical (circle, square, triangle).
- Organic 有机 shapes are free and natural (a leaf, a puddle).
- Most art mixes both to feel ordered yet alive.
几何与有机
- 几何(geometric)形状是规则、机械的(圆、方、三角)。
- 有机(organic)形状是自由、自然的(叶子、水洼)。
- 大多数艺术混合两者,既有序又有生命力。
Geometric or organic? · 几何或有机？
Sort each shape as geometric or organic. · 将每个形状分类为几何或有机。
Regular, mechanical shapes like circles and squares are called ____ shapes. · 像圆和方这样规则的机械形状被称为____形状。
Geometric shapes are regular; organic shapes are natural. · 几何形状是规则的；有机形状是自然的。
Select all · 所有 organic shapes. · 选择所有有机形状。
Leaves, puddles, and clouds are organic; a square is geometric. · 叶子、水洼和云朵是有机形状；正方形是几何形状。
Positive and negative
- Positive shape 正形 is the object itself.
- Negative shape 负形 is the empty space around and between objects.
- Learning to see negative space makes drawing far more accurate.
正形与负形
- 正形(positive shape)是物体本身。
- 负形(negative shape)是物体周围和之间的空白空间。
- 学会看负形使绘画准确得多。
Negative shape is the empty space around and between objects. · 负形是物体周围和之间的空白空间。
Negative shape is the empty space; positive shape is the object. · 负形是空白空间；正形是物体本身。
Match each term to its meaning. · 将下列术语与其含义匹配。
Shape = flat; form = 3-D; negative shape = surrounding space. · 形态 = 扁平；形状 = 3-D；负形态 = 周围空间。
Do not ignore negative shape. Beginners draw only the object (positive shape) and get proportions wrong. Watching the empty shapes around and between objects — the negative space — is one of the strongest ways to draw accurately.
不要忽视负形。初学者只画物体(正形),把比例画错。观察物体周围和之间的空白形状——负空间——是准确作画最有力的方法之一。
Draw a chair by looking at the negative shapes — the triangles of empty space between its legs and back — instead of the chair itself. The chair appears correctly, because the empty shapes are easier to judge than the object.
通过观察负形来画一把椅子——椅腿和椅背之间空白空间的三角形——而不是椅子本身。椅子会正确地出现,因为空白形状比物体更容易判断。
A shape is a flat enclosed area; a form looks three-dimensional. Shapes are geometric (regular) or organic (natural). Positive shape is the object; negative shape is the space around it — and seeing negative space makes drawing more accurate.
形状是平面封闭区域;形体看起来是三维的。形状是几何(规则)或有机(自然)的。正形是物体;负形是它周围的空间——而看负形使绘画更准确。
