  2. Organic Abstraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_abstraction

    Organic Abstraction is an artistic style characterized by "the use of rounded or wavy abstract forms based on what one finds in nature." [1] It takes its cues from rhythmic forms found in nature, both small scale, as in the structures of small-growth leaves and stems, and grand, as in the shapes of the universe that are revealed by astronomy and physics. [2]

    There are different types of shapes an artist can use and fall under either geometrical shapes, defined by mathematics, or organic shapes, created by an artist. [3] [4] Simplistic, geometrical shapes include circles, triangles and squares, and provide a symbolic and synthetic feeling, whereas acute angled shapes with sharp points are perceived ...

  4. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    In the visual arts, shape is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, or colours, or an area enclosed by other shapes, such as triangles, circles, and squares. [1] Likewise, a form can refer to a three-dimensional composition or object within a three-dimensional composition. [2]

    Biomorphic branching columns in Gaudí's monumental but still incomplete Sagrada Família church are modelled on trees. Biomorphism models artistic design elements on naturally occurring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms.

    For example, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) is an octahedral molecule. Trigonal pyramidal: A trigonal pyramidal molecule has a pyramid-like shape with a triangular base. Unlike the linear and trigonal planar shapes but similar to the tetrahedral orientation, pyramidal shapes require three dimensions in order to fully separate the electrons.

    For example, when leaves alternate up a stem, one rotation of the spiral touches two leaves, so the pattern or ratio is 1/2. In hazel the ratio is 1/3; in apricot it is 2/5; in pear it is 3/8; in almond it is 5/13. [56] Animal behaviour can yield spirals; for example, acorn worms leave spiral fecal trails on the sea floor. [57]

  8. Organic architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_architecture

    The original Goetheanum [3] he constructed was an early example of organic architecture; but, due to fire, it was redesigned and replaced by the second, concrete and organically formed Goetheanum building, a cultural and spiritual center for the artists. [4]

    3). In organic chemistry, planar, three-connected carbon centers that are trigonal planar are often described as having sp 2 hybridization. [2] [3] Nitrogen inversion is the distortion of pyramidal amines through a transition state that is trigonal planar. Pyramidalization is a distortion of this molecular shape towards a tetrahedral molecular ...
