● A form typically has three dimensions; length, width, and height.
● Examples of such would be cubes, pyramids, spheres or even cylinders.
● Therefore, form has depth as well as height.
● Sculptures and decorative arts serve as good examples for form.

Directional forms: In terms of clothing,
forms emphasize the movements of body.
Flowing skirts, scarves, ribbons and long hair
are examples of directional forms. They slip
into movement as soon as the wearer moves.

Space

● Space is the creation of visual perspective and this gives the illusion of depth.
● Space can also mean the way an artist uses the area within the plane of the picture.
●Real space is actually three-dimensional. The way an artist uses the combination of positive and negative space can
have a great effect on the entire composition.
● Three-dimensional space can be created with the help of shading and perspective to give a feeling of depth.

Space
● The Element of Design Space refers to the area within, around, above or below an
object or objects. It is important to creating and understanding both two dimensional
or three dimensional works of art.
● Space, in two-dimensional design, is essentially flat; it has height and width, but no
depth. There are certain visual cues, however, that can create the illusion of space in
the mind of the viewer. By using those cues, artists and designers can create images
that are interpreted as three-dimensional.
● Even the most realistic paintings or photographs are illusions. Two dimensional
artists use a number of "tricks" for creating the illusion of depth in their art.

● Space can be defined as positive or negative.
- Positive space is the filled space, the object(s) or
element(s) in the design.
- Negative space is the empty space, or the open space
between design elements or objects, such as a
background.

Texture
• Texture refers to the surface quality of goods.
• Fabric can have a variety of textures, all of which can
affect the look of a garment or fashion accessory. The
weave and texture of a fabric has an impact on the way it
drapes, which, in turn, affects the way a garment looks
when it is worn.

● The texture is the quality of a surface or the way a work of art is represented.
● There are three kinds of basic textures; actual, simulated, and the invented texture.
● Lines and shading can be used to create different textures.
● For example, if one is portraying certain fabrics, one needs to give the feeling of the right
texture so that it closely resembles what the artist is trying to convey.

• Texture can be used all over the garment or for embellishment. All-over texture
refers to the weave of the garment’s main fabric. For example, a sweater made
with thick, heavy yarn has a chunky, bulky texture.
• Embellishments can create texture for garments too. For example a top may
have a sequined, sparkly area that looks different from the rest of the garment.
• When coming up with outfits, people often mix textures. For example, a tweed
jacket could be paired with a skinny jean, or textured pants might be paired with a
crisp shirt.
• Wise selection of textures can flatter the wearer’s appearance. Some textures
create the illusion of added weight, such as bulky or shiny fabrics.

Texture: As Embellishment
The above photos show contrasting textures in garments. The garment is constructed out of a primary fabric, while
embellishment is added with a secondary fabric.

Texture: In Outfits
The above photos show contrasting textures in outfits. Mixing and matching various textures creates interest in
one’s look.
