This is a wonderful poster or handout with different types of shapes. Hang it up on the wall or hand it out to your learners when they are creating a drawing or art work. Lines are essential in drawing and can really bring a picture to life. A line is an important element of art and is used in many forms of art such as drawing, painting, graphic design, or photography.

What is a shape? Shape is a two-dimensional (2D) area enclosed by lines, colors, or edges.

Uses of Shapes in a Drawing:

• Create objects — circles can make eyes, squares can make buildings, etc.

• Show people and animals — shapes can form bodies, faces, and other parts.

• Create patterns and designs — repeated shapes can make interesting decorations.

• Organize a composition — shapes help arrange objects in a drawing.

• Show space and depth — overlapping or changing the size of shapes can make things look closer or farther away.

• Express ideas or feelings — different shapes can create different moods. For example, sharp shapes can feel energetic, while rounded shapes can feel softer.
