Understanding Form Transformation in Art and Design, Lecture notes of History
The concept of form transformation in art and design, discussing the different types of transformations including dimensional, subtractive, and additive. The document also covers the possibilities of additive transformation through spatial tension, edge to edge contact, face to face contact, and interlocking volumes. Various types of additive forms such as centralised, linear, radial, and clustered forms are also described.

FORM Form is one of the seven elements of art. At its most basic, a form is a three- dimensional geometrical figure (i.e.: sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.), as opposed to a shape , which is two-dimensional, or flat. In a broader sense, form, in art, means the whole of a piece's visible elements and the way those elements are united. In this context, form allows us as viewers to mentally capture the work, understand it and attempt to analyse it.
Dimensional Transformation A form can be transformed by altering one or more of its dimensions and still retain its identity as a member of a family of forms. A cube, for example, can be transformed into similar prismatic forms through discrete changes in height, width, or length. It can be compressed into a planar form or be stretched out into a linear one.
Subtractive Transformation A form can be transformed by subtracting a portion of its volume. Depending on the extent of the subtractive process, the form can retain its initial identity or be transformed into a form of another family. For example, a cube can retain its identity as a cube even though a portion of it is removed, or be transformed into a series of regular polyhedrons that begin to approximate a sphere. Ambiguity regarding the original identity of a form will result if the portion removed from its volume erodes its edges and drastically alters its profile.

Additive forms Centralised Forms Consists of a number of secondary forms clustered about dominant central form. Linear Forms Consists of forms arranged sequentially in a row.
