    FUNCTIONS OF ART

    FUNCTIONS OF ARTS

    • According to Aristotle, “every particular substance in the world


    has an end, or TELOS”.
    • This telos is directly linked with function (ex. Table – it
    reaches/serves its telos when it is functional).
    • Does art necessarily have a telos? When an artist creates a work of
    art, does he have an end in mind? Do all artworks have function?

    Any art production will definitely involve money. Reproduction on any art
    works that would still become highest paid, or even the reproduction of songs

    transmit from one generation to another generation.

    Artforms like architecture, music, dance and sculpture play an important role
    in one cultural spirituality. People in the past worshipped their gods through
    sculptures with music and dance. Nowadays, people are gathered in an
    architectural structure like churches, arenas and other venues to worship and
    they incorporate music and dance.
    AESTHETIC FUNCTION

    Beautification adds appeal and excitement like displays of paintings in an


    empty area on the wall. Interior design in the newly renovated National
    Museum is the breath taking experience of beauty. Fashion always aims for
    beauty that is appealing to the eye. Film industries, Opera’s and Theater
    provide extravagant and beautiful props and costumes for its realistic impact.
