Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Explain the difference between freeform shapes and geometric shapes. Provide one example of how the artist, Roy Liechtenstein, has used each of these artist elements in the piece below entitled, Modern Painting with Clef.

Answer:

Freeform shapes can be closed or open, and have no defined name or qualities. Geometric shapes are close shapes, with a specific name and distinct qualities. In Modern Painting with Clef, Liechtenstein used geometric shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and semi-circles. He also made various freeform shapes using different types of lines to cut through geometric shapes, and create new shapes.
