In your Higher Exam you will be expected to discuss the following areas of form

• 3D — physical form, mass, negative space

• Illusion of form

• Description of form — for example organic, geometric, angular, fragmented, contrasting elements

• Techniques used to create form — for example carving, sculpting, moulding, use of tone and colour

• Scale and proportion of form(s)

• The effect form has on the visual impact or mood and atmosphere of the piece.

The artist has used heavily stylised form within the figures, this can be seen in the simplified detail seen in both figures, for example, neither figure has obvious facial features this gives the viewer the impression they could be looking at any King and Queen making it more relatable for viewers. 

The artist has created the 3D form of the figures to make them look very regal, this is due to the straight upper back, elongated necks and considered placement of the feet within each figure, this gives the impression of grandeur and would lead the viewer to feel like they were in the presence of royalty, therefore adding to the overall visual impact of the piece.

The artist has created the form of each figure to suggest male and female forms, this can be seen through the scale and shape, the figure on the left is broader more angular and taller than the figure on the right which is smaller and rounder. This adds to the idea of it being a king and Queen, fulfilling their stereotypical gendered roles.

The artist has created flat inhuman form, when the figures are viewed from the side the form looks elongated and organic, making them look less human and more other worldly, this gives the visual impact another dimension as the 2 views create a different feel to the piece.
