Organic shapes are shapes with a
natural look and a flowing and curving
appearance. Examples of organic
shapes include the shapes of leaves,
plants, and animals.
Artists use organic shapes and
geometric shapes in different ways.
When trying to create a piece that
looks natural, flowing, soft, peaceful,
organic shapes are generally used.
When trying to create a sense of
chaos, anger, geometric shapes are
used. Geometric shapes may also be
used to create abstract interpretations
of things that would normally be
depicted as organic shapes.
Geometric shapes are unlike organic
shapes. Most geometric shapes are
manmade, though honeycombs and
crystals are also considered to be
geometric shapes but they are made
in nature.
