WFU - Form and Color Form and Color Form and color are important elements in many contemporary art forms including computer art and animation. In this module, you will learn how three dimensional forms are created on two dimensional media and some basic properties of color.
Form is the impression that objects within an image occupy three dimensional space.
This illusion is commonly achieved using some combination of the following techniques. Shading Shading varies the brightness of an object from light to dark in patterns that mimic the way light reflects from real world objects. The first panel of the figure above shows a scene rendered without shading. Overlapping Objects Overlapping objects helps convey the spatial relationships within a scene. Objects in the foreground block the view of objects further away.
