While the fine arts traditionally refer to drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture, other art forms include music, dance, theater, writing, photography, crafts such as woodworking and weaving along with multimedia, which combine many together. For many young people, art is one of their favorite school subjects. However, art is not just a school subject. You can make, use, enjoy and appreciate art anywhere. Purposes Of Art Just as many art forms exist, art has many purposes. One use of art is function. For example, pottery and baskets function as containers. Clothing is worn, and quilts cover up at night. Prepared foods derive from culinary art. Artistic works may serve practical functions, like these, in addition to their value in helping people appreciate beauty. People make art to express historic symbols of family history. Artists can also use video, photographs, emotions and ideas, too.
