Objects which have utility or a functional
purposes, or are useful yet artistic.

Passing on of information about history,
culture, people, values, & traditions -
especially where there is no written language
ex: Portraits, photographs, tatoos
manuscripts, stelae
Tatoo, or tatu, was originally a
record of the person’s family,
status, beliefs, & history.
6. V. Aesthetics
An object created just to be pleasing to sight & touch
- for a feeling of balance, proportion, pleasing arrangement,
thought provoking subject matter, stimulating to the imagination.
Art for art sake.
ex: abstract painting,
sculpture, watercolors
7. VI. Commerce
Art created for commercial purposes, primarily advertising.
Commercial art is not considered FINE art, but design.

book illustrations.
Some types of commercial art:

2. What is aesthetics?
Art created just to be pleasing to sight & touch -
a feeling of balance, proportion, pleasing arrangement,
thought provoking and stimulating to the imagination.
It is the philosophy or the study of the beauty and art.
According to: aestheticism - “The belief that the pursuit of
beauty is the most important goal, and that it is the artist's duty
to orchestrate selected elements from nature into a
composition that, like music, exists for its own sake, without
regard to moral or didactic issues” (an attempt to instruct
produce and influence in some way.) & aesthetics
Originally, any activity connected with art, beauty and taste,
becoming more broadly the study of art's function, nature,
ontology, purpose, and so on.
