POINT
A point is the origin of all. A point is the beginning and the end. A point can mean the position. A point can mean the focus of a space. Before there can be a form, there must be a plane, which has been made from line, which wouldn't be if there wasn't a point.
LINE
A line is the connection of two points. They are used to outline or create planes, but they also can also show direction, movement or importance. For example, the direction doesn't only have to be up or down, but which way a door should swing; the movement could be found in a line specifying the circulation of a space; a line can bring emphasis to a space or structure that is important in a design. Lines bring forth a creation.
PLANE
Planes are the flat shapes that are created from lines. They are solid, void, two-dimensional and represent the surfaces in a space, such as the walls, floors and ceilings. Before anything three-dimensional can be constructed, there must be a plane to define them.
VOLUME
Volume is the amount of space a figure occupies or takes up. Volume is the property of three-dimensionality and that includes both solid and open figures; a solid block of cement can have just as much volume as an empty fish tank. If it has a form, then it is three-dimensional and it has volume.
