INTRODUCTION

Form and shape are domains in which an item is defined in space. They might be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. A two-dimensional shape has height and breadth, but a three-dimensional form includes depth. Time, structure, texture, symmetry asymmetry, depth, substance, white spaces negative spaces, direction, and surface integrity all contribute to the formation of a shape. The shape and structure of something as distinguished from its material

RADII MANIPULATION

01.

When we modify the edges from the inside, we term it concave radii manipulation, and when we manipulate them from the outside, we term it convex radii manipulation.

Proportion - Is defined as a portion, proportion, or quantity viewed in comparison to a total. According to the notion of proportion, two ratios are in proportion when they are comparable.​

You must keep some considerations in mind when making a family, such as when you resemble your parents, like the way your eyes match, the way you speak, and so on. You must also keep in mind the requirement to constant some aspects of the parent form.

I made it on paper and gained support from Hemraj bhai for cutting my acrylic sheets, then got assistance from the metal workshop and got it done by myself, and the beauty of the transition you can see.

What I need to do is create a frame out of curves, thus I ended up building this wire frame in which I am attempting to demonstrate asymmetrical balance as well as a difficult wire movement. First i draw on paper and then make with wire

Form study helped me visualize how concave and convex make a meaningful form, as Ashok guided on this different geometric shapes when combined can create new forms, but how can be executed, we were confused, and at the very initiation phase I did not understand that why we are doing so, later on, I get to that how various forms are coming out beautifully, through strength techniques. I've learned many things, In form transition, we had to select two parent forms, and a transition in 12 and 25 steps, Though my metamorphosis is apparent, Ashok is a spectacular mentor who offered us such profound views on how to construct a meaning of a form.
