Abstract
This research which is the third part of four will be an extensive elaboration on the second principles which is “Formal, Medium, and Subject Matter,” newly reviewed and formed from the initial structure created in the first part of the research which was “Formal (Subject Matter), Material, and Meaning.” The elaboration was done through cross-referencing and interpreting several literatures especially that of Barrett (2011) Making Art: Form and Meaning and Lazzari and Schlesier (2008) Exploring Art: A Global, Thematic Approach. The objective of this paper was to elaborate and explicate the meaning of the second principle so that fine art students can use it as a form of conceptual construction and guideline in establishing their own understanding of formal, medium, and inquiry subject matter.
