Shape

Patterns of shape are found everywhere around us. There are countless natural and man-made patterns of repeated shapes found at every scale. Some shapes are geometric[jee-uh-me-trik] Resembling or employing the simple rectilinear or curvilinear lines or figures used in geometry. and some are organic[awr-gan-ik] Of or pertaining to the shapes or forms in a work of art that are irregular and seem to resemble forms found in nature.. Geometric shapes are simple forms such as circles, squares, rectangles or pyramids but organic patterns have complex and irregular shapes. Plants and animals, both big and small, are abundant with shapes and patterns. Beavers, spiders and birds create dams, webs and nests that create structure with intricate patterns. These patterns can be found in the tiles of a bathroom or in the design of an entire city.

In the strange realms and countless worlds that beg exploration of the mind, one finds visual clues that reveal order in the universe. The irresistible allure of beauty in shape is one of nature’s many mysteries. Whether simple or complex, shapes are a result of the interaction between chemicals and energy in our world..
