In art and art criticism, form and content are considered distinct aspects of a work of art. The term form refers to the work's composition, techniques and media used, and how the elements of design are implemented. It mainly focuses on the physical aspects of the artwork, rather than the context in the artwork itself, such as color, value,space, etc.[1] Content, on the other hand, refers to a work's subject matter, significance and style. Namely, the meaning behind the artwork, or context. [2]
Usage in Art
edit
The subject of these two artworks is a bird, though both artworks are created in different styles. One is a two-dimensional artwork of two birds resting on a tree branch, created in a natural style, with realistic proportions. On the other hand, the jade bird carving, created with exaggerated proportions and a stylized expression, creates a different emotional content. In other words, the content of the artwork changes based on the artist decision's use of form. [3]
