Content: the narrative/idea/subject

Form: manipulating visual elements and materials.

Analysis: researching possible solutions to the proposed problem

Perception: the process of obtaining awareness and understanding of sensory data.

Material Exploration: the experimentation and process of building an idea.

2D: length and breadth

3D: depth, height, width

When working with 3D form consider light, relief, structure, etc.

Defined by x,y, z.

Does form determine function? And how do they affect each other?

And

How do two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms affect each other?

Everything in the universe, as we know it, is made of polyhedral forms (mostly on a microscopic level).
