Shape Definitions

SHAPE (definition).

•A shape is an area enclosed by a line. It could be just an outline or it could be shaded in.

•Shapes can be either geometric, like a circle, square or triangle, or irregular.

•When drawing shapes, you must consider the size and position as well as the shape of the area around it. The shapes created in the spaces between shapes are referred to as negative space.

Shape - the external form, contours, or outline of someone or something.

 I like this photo of shape because it has a deep meaning. The elephants are creating a heart shape which  could represent them being in love. The warm sunset in the background works well with the idea of love. 

  I think that this photo does not represent sexual objectification because the woman has is almost shielding herself, despite her being exposed. The photographer has used negative space to highlight the body of the woman. This links to what he wanted to look into - the female form.
