CMA CMA Shape & Shape Flow Analysis

Question 1

In LMA Shape theory, 'Shape Flow' describes:

Accepted Answer

The three-dimensional changing of the body's shape in relation to itself

Answer

Shape Flow describes the body growing and shrinking three-dimensionally in relation to its own center, independent of the environment.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes 'Directional Movement' in Shape theory?

Accepted Answer

Movement that creates a spoke-like or arc-like line from the body toward the environment

Answer

Directional Movement creates spoke-like (straight) or arc-like lines that reach from the body toward the environment without shaping around it.

Accepted Answer

Three-dimensional volumetric shaping of the body in relationship with the environment

Answer

Question 4

The three dimensions of Shape Flow are:

Accepted Answer

Up/Down, Side/Side, Forward/Back

Answer

Shape Flow changes occur along three dimensions: lengthening/shortening (up/down), widening/narrowing (side/side), and bulging/hollowing (forward/back).

Question 5

In Shape theory, 'growing' Shape Flow is associated with:

Accepted Answer
