Plane and Form

Plane
Each of these pictures have several planes in each picture.  The plane in the top left are the glass windows on the front of the bakery.  The plane in the next picture down is the stop sign.  The white boarder edges the plane and the red is the plane.  The next picture down contains a plane in the infield grass diamond.  The dirt frames and creates the plane.  The last picture of the air traffic control tower has many planes.  Each side of the tower is a plane and the glass windows are a plane.
Form
Geometric
I decided to focus on a sphere for the geometric form.  The lights in three of the pictures are spheres and the softball in the last picture is also a sphere.


Natural
All four of these pictures represent natural form.  The top two are nature and are the natural form because they were found in nature. The bottom two statues are natural form because they mimic the natural form of a human and a dog.

Abstract
These images all show abstract form because they all show qualities of the actual form but have been altered.  The top left example is of a piggy bank and the top right picture is of a bulldog bottle opener.  Both of these pictures mimic the form of the actual animal but neither one shows what the real animal would do.  The bottom right picture is from Dawson Hall and shows the form of a woman but altered to be because they do not have arms.  The bottom left pictures, in my opinion is a mushroom, that is used as a driveway marker.  I included it in the abstract form area because I think I know what it represents and I would assume the artist did too so it is abstract, but some people might say it is non-objective.  This picture shows how the line between abstract and non-objective can be blurry.

Non-Objective



These two pictures show non-objective forms because they are not obvious that they model any particular shape.  The top picture is of the USS Arizona memorial in Hawaii and shows no particular recognizable form.  The bottom picture is of a light in my room and also is non-objective form because it does not mimic any particular form.

Static
These two pictures are examples of static because they both are permeant and powerful.  The bulldog is static because it is cement and in a powerful guarding stance.  The next pictures from ruins in Rome outside the coliseum.  These doors and columns have been there for thousands of hers and are not going anywhere.
Dynamic
These two images are examples of dynamic form because you can see movement in the pictures.  The flag is dynamic because you can see the ripples from the wind.  The flame at JFK's grave is dynamic because you can see the movement in the billowing of the flame.
