Form and style in visual arts

I’ll start this overview by explaining the way how i think on two important terms that depict from the title: form and style in art.

Form itself is something above anything else that has space, depth and light and slightly creates an illusion. Form in art refers to objects which have height, width and length. For example in sculptural pieces, the form is real while in drawing/painting depth is created from the help of light and contrast of highlights and shadow areas.

As for art style I think it describes the way the artwork is composed or looks. In my opinion, style means how you express yourself in front of the world/group of people etc. After practicing a lot of times on your paper you create your art in your own style.

If you take a look on Van Gogh’s painting “ A starry night” you can see the brush strokes. And you can also see the colors of blue and yellow all over the painting. While on a Dalí painting you can sense the style of surrealism (or the super-reality which is called also).

This is style. The way you tell your story.
