    These patternsrecur in different contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically. Natural patterns include symmetries, trees, spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tessellations, cracksand stripes.[1] Early Greek philosophersstudied pattern, with Plato, Pythagorasand Empedoclesattempting to explain order in nature.

    It can also be looked at as art form, which can be expressed through fine art. A form encloses volume, has length, width, and height, unlike a shape, which is only two-dimensional. Forms that are mathematical, a sphere, pyramid, cube, cylinder, and cone, are known as geometric forms. Organic forms are typically irregular and asymmetrical.

A two-dimensional shape or two-dimensional figure (also: 2D shape or 2D figure) may lie on a more general curved surface (a two-dimensional space).

  8. Geometric abstraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_abstraction

    Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art based on the use of geometric forms sometimes, though not always, placed in non-illusionistic space and combined into non-objective (non-representational) compositions. Although the genre was popularized by avant-garde artists in the early twentieth century, similar motifs have been used in art ...

  9. 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.
