Shape Definition

Shape Definition

The external form, contours, or outline of someone or something. Freedom from representational qualities in art.

•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.

Bill Brandt

This image appears rather artistic although one

could argue that it is perhaps objectification due 

to there being a nipple on show. There is a lot of

negative space in this image, particularly around

the models skin and face. I do not believe its 

particularly objectified as everyone has nipples

and they aren't necessarily sexual objects.
