Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for Understanding that Perception and Consciousness are temporary

The 3 characteristics in Perception is difficult to identify as they are mostly tained by Perversion of Perception. Initially this can be rectified by building contracting perception. Seven such contemplations are given in (Vitthāra) Satta Sañña Sutta. Also when you experience Perception gives rise to the following chain thoughts arise > desires > passions > searching. (Saññā Nānatta Sutta) Generally what you can start looking at from searching. This is searching to experiences to fulfil your passions, so on and so forths. When you realise subject of lusting is impermanence then you see Perception of Impermanence. (Such pratice is covered in Anicca Saññā Sutta) This means your Perversion of Perception has reduced hence see the Impermanence of Perception. Ultimately what you lust is for sensation either pleasant, unpleasant or neutral by understanding this perhaps you can understand perception. This since perception is hard to understand try to understand something the impermanence caused by perception thought which you try to understand impermanence of perception or something that creates perception in the cause and effect chain.

What consciousness does is it recognises "It is pleasant ... unpleasant ... neutral". The the route to understand impermanence of consciousness is to start with the sensations it produce. You should see them as Arising and Passing with Equanimity. (Pahāna Sutta, Avijja Pahana Sutta 2)
