Elements of Art: Form | KQED Arts

Study up on the different ways visual artists create Form in the third installment of our Elements of Art series. Through the eye-fooling genre of Trompe L'oeil, we look at techniques artists use to transform shapes into form.

I love your videos! Clean, concise, and filled with great examples. Your narrator does a great job of speaking clearly and at a slow pace so we have time to process the information. Thank you!

I know this question probably gets asked all the time, but could you please make videos about the principles of design? That being said, my students really enjoy these videos and they provide great discussion points.Thank you to everyone involved for creating them!

GREAT! set of videos!! Nice to be able to DI with these. Really helps with time! Thank you so much for creating these. Well done.

[@charityrecla8190]

This series of videos is FANTASTIC! I have always given my High School and Middle School students the Crystal videos on the Elements and Principles and frankly they are boring and the kids cannot relate. The artwork used in these videos is modern, fun, and interesting to the students. There was a lot of "whoa's" and "how cool!" comments from my Middle Schoolers today. PLEASE make a series on the Principles of Design that match this set of videos!

[@allisonstarr9278]

I love all of your videos on the elements of art, they are such a great way of putting all the information in an easy to understand format! Is there a video on the element of art space? maybe i'm just overlooking it!

[@KQEDArtSchool]

Hi Allison, thanks so much for your kind words, glad these are of use to you! We just published the Space video yesterday, the final installment of our Elements of Art series.

[@tiannacenters8220]

Can someone put a summary of the video in the comments I don't feel like watching this

[@D2Kprime]

Form is a pretty broad and general-term, and it seems like this video is speaking about a specific-kind of form without explaining what that is.

[@lunarinferno2429]

Yeah

[@lucasavans7045]

Yup

[@lunarinferno2429]

Omg

[@vriyuhyuh]

This really helps thank you!!
