Art Appreciation
Let's work on it!
1. Does art always have a function? Why? Support your response by providing your own example.
—Arts always serve a purpose, yet they cannot be allocated because the function of an art form is
determined by its setting. The purpose of artworks is usually determined by how the person observing
them perceives them.
2. If an artwork ceased to have a function, will it remain art? Why?
—Yes. Art is any work created with the main function being for it to be admired, appreciated. If a canvas
painting is turned into a footrest, its still art. If its thrown in the trash, its still art. Its the intent of the
creator that makes it art. Any function it might have later, or lack thereof, doesn’t change that.
Let's make it happen!
