Which term describes the physical form or silhouette of the arrangement?

• A. Line
• B. Form
• C. Texture
• D. Space

Answer: (B)

Form describes the arrangement’s overall three‑dimensional shape and silhouette—the outer contour that gives it its presence. It’s the mass and outline you see, the shape that defines whether the design reads as round, angular, compact, or expansive. Line, by contrast, is about the direction and length created by the stems guiding the eye; texture refers to surface quality, how the surfaces look and feel; and space concerns the area around and within the design, including negative space and how the arrangement sits in its setting. So the term that captures the physical form or silhouette is Form.
