Form. An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder).

Three-dimensional design is defined here as the design, prototyping and modelling or making of primarily functional and aesthetic products, objects, and environments, drawing upon intellectual, creative and practical skills.

The Element of Design Space refers to the area within, around, above or below an object or objects. It is important to creating and understanding both two dimensional or three dimensional works of art. With three dimensional art the space things occupy is real as is the space around object.

Likewise, a form can refer to a three-dimensional composition or object within a three-dimensional composition. Specifically, it is an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art. Shapes are limited to two dimensions: length and width.

A cube, rectangular prism, sphere, cone and cylinder are the basic 3-dimensional shapes we see around us.

Students learn about 3-dimensional shapes. They become aware that not all shapes are created equal; they have different attributes and features. Comparing a variety of 2D and 3D shapes allows children to explore some of the similarities and differences.

2D shapes A 2D shape is a flat shape. We are learning about the following 2D shapes – circle, square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon. When we talk about the properties of these shapes we look at the number of sides that each shape has and the number of corners. A corner is where 2 sides meet.

In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. The cube is the only regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids. It has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.

The 2-dimensional (2D) shape (like a circle, square, triangle, etc.) that a cube is made of is squares. The sides (faces) of a cube are squares. The edges are straight lines.

Learning Cube Numbers

In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n3 = n × n2 = n × n × n.

Examples: 3 raised to the power of 4 is written 34 = 81.

Originally Answered: Why is 3 called cubed? Exponents/powers represent repeated multiplication, and the 3rd power is called cubed because, if you think about it in geometry and pieces, whatever value you apply the 3rd power to, the amount of the new value can be rearranged into the shape of a cube.
