Form is any three dimensional object. It can be measured, from top to bottom (height), side to side (width), and from back to front (depth). Form is also defined by light and dark. There are two types of form, geometric (man-made) and natural (organic form). Form may be created by the combining of two or more shapes. It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color. It can be illustrated or constructed.
This picture shows mainly the three dimensions of the subject in the picture. Looking at the difference in colour value you can see the depth of the object. Also it is a geometric object because all the objects are unifrom and there are little flaws in the curve and direction of the line. The shadows also allow the viewer to immediately recognize the three dimensions of the objects in the picture.
