The word "basic", as discussed above, is found to be used as a word that means to study and teach the basic and important problems which commonly exist in each of the major sciences in a general vertical division type. By including this meaning, including the way of thinking that has the word "basic" at the beginning of art and design, the theory of "Basic Art & Design", that has not been defined clearly and has been difficult to understand, will be clear. So, Basic Art & Design is the study and the education aimed at basic and important problems which commonly exist in each field of art and design, such as pictures, sculptures, and any other designs. Basic and important problems that commonly exist in art and design, more precisely, are shape, color, material, composition ideas, educational methods to improve artificial sense and institution, research of formative possibilities by machines and materials, and so on.

It has become clear that KOHSEI is the context of basic art and design. It has many problems as the theme of the study, as mentioned above. Here, we look at the "shape", and aim at the two-dimensional KOHSEI in shape KOHSEI
