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!

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!

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!

[DKprime]

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.

[maxineheron]

I love all ur lessons. Gives me simple ideas to share with my students.

[Bxkeh]

thank you so much, you are saving me a lot of studying time with these awesome videos

Anyone get caught up in the crazy artwork and had to watch it multiple times before the info actually stuck? Seriously, that crocodile one!
