Two dimensional projections of a three dimensional curve

I have a curve in the 3D space. How should I find its three 2D projections?

This is not a very clear question. If you are just interested in 3 2D projections of a 3D object, all you have to do is plot x&y, x&z and y&z individually. Projection in on axial planes is equivalent to ignoring one of the dimensions.

Thank you. I have got one more question. If I have an object in 4 dimensional space wxyz. If I want to find the 2D projection of the object on wx, how will I do it? I just have to ignore the y & z coordinates and take only the wx coordinates. Am I correct?
Yes, that would the yz plane projection, and the rest would be done in a same way. Although there are better ways to visualize high dimensional data in 2 dimensions such as PCA.
