Answer the following question as precisely yet as thoroughly as possible.
1. What art form/artwork has changed something in your life? Why? Account for the
experience.
Learning to paint with watercolors has completely transformed my life. I've always been
impulsive and bad at making priorities in my life, not thinking things through, and not following through
on my decisions. Learning to paint altered everything for me, and it even spilled over into my personal
life! Before applying a brush to the paper to paint in watercolor, the artist must evaluate the overall
picture. What will be dark and what will be light, what sort of washes you want to use, and what
approach would be ideal to bring out the inherent beauty in a particular location must all be
determined. These decisions all take time, and they all take follow-through. I believe those very reasons
are why people consider watercolor to be a very difficult medium to work with. The methods I have
explained are conducive to leading a prosperous life. Before making critical decisions, I now evaluate the
big picture and contemplate the potential ramifications of my actions. With these decisions, I'm now
considering how they'll effect other aspects of my life. I also asked myself what life skills I had that will
help me bring out the inherent beauty in my relationships and the parts of my life that have already
started.
2. Does art always have a function? Why? Support your response. Provide your own example.
Art always has a function, but it is impossible to identify one since the function of an art form is
contextual. The purpose of art is typically determined by how the person watching it perceives it.
However, knowing who the artist was and what genre it belongs to is the simplest method to determine
its function. Art functions can be classified as personal, physical, or societal. Physical functions are
frequently the easiest to comprehend. Architecture, crafts, and industrial designs are all examples of art
with a practical purpose. Art that represents social situations is also carrying out social functions. The
most difficult aspect of art to describe is its personal purpose. When art serves as therapy for both the
artist and the viewer then that is serving the personal function of art.
3. If an artwork ceased to have a function, will it remain an art? Why?
If an artwork ceased to have a function, it may or may not have any significance. It wouldn't be
the same or remain an art if the art itself didn't have a purpose. The purpose of art is for the artwork to
depict reality. If a picture is well-understood, it will be cherished and collected. A picture may not be
immediately comprehended, but with time it comes to be recognized as a true form that humans may
take and cherish. Art has no purpose in life. Art is art, just like love is love. We now have art that dates
back thousands of years. As a result, if a picture is not understood today, it may be comprehended later.
If art can’t have a function, then it won’t have any significance to us at any point in time.
Let’s Make it Happen
Look around your house and identify a product of art. In the box below, paste a picture of that
product of art in your household. Trace the beginnings of this item and identify what function it has
played in history (e.g., a painting of the Last Supper in your dining room or a spoon).
Pamaypay is a traditional hand-held fan from the Philippines, also known as paypay, payupas,
buri fan, or anahaw fan. It's usually created out of braided buri or anahaw palm leaves. It's commonly
heart-shaped and woven using the sawali method (twilled). The usage of Abaniko or Pamaypay to
combat the heat became a part of Filipino culture in the past. This item was also utilized as a sign of
demureness by Maria Clara, the protagonist of Noli Me Tangere. To begin, the Spanish word 'abanico'
refers to a hand-held accessory woven from the perennial plant Balamcanda Chinensis, sometimes
known as blackberry lily. It normally takes the shape of a heart or circle, while other fans are shaped like
paddles. There are, however, different types of it available, such as folding fans made of paper, fabric,
feathers, and plastic. The abaniko is also designed with vivid colors to signify the creativity and culture of
the various regions in the Philippines. For instance, the Chavacano produces fans from traditional Batik
clothing which can be also used as a cap when both sides are folded. Aside from its fashion purposes,
these hand-held fans were also used by women to communicate with their potential suitors.
