In visual arts and geometry:
two-dimensional : it refers to something that has only "width" and "height". A painting, photograph image, a drawing, and movies are "two-dimensional". It refers to the image not to the physical object. The photograph of a house is a two-dimensional flat image of a three-dimensional object.
three-dimensional : it refers to something that has "width", "height" and "depth". A sculpture, a cube, and real life solid object are three-dimensional. A real life house is a three-dimensional object, it has "width", "height" and "depth".
Three-dimensional is a term also applied to visual representation of three-dimensional objects (3D) on a "two-dimensional" medium by creating the illusion of depth.

The notion of the first dimension comes from looking AT something, a "point". That represents a line.
When we are looking UPON something that is where the idea of 2 dimensions comes from. A flat, undifferentiated SURFACE area. A TV screen is a great example. When we are looking THROUGH the air that is where the notion of three dimensions comes from: SPACE.
Time (the fourth dimension) refers to sight looking through CHANGE from the past to the present to the future.
