Art Education
Shape
आकार
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from the chapter Elements of Art, students explore shape as a two-dimensional, enclosed area defined by lines, colour, tone, or texture. They learn to distinguish geometric and organic shapes, understand positive and negative space, and observe how size, proportion, repetition, overlap, and arrangement influence a composition. Through drawing and visual analysis, students practise identifying shapes in objects and artworks and use them thoughtfully to create balanced, expressive designs.
