Functional art goes beyond the aesthetic of two-dimensional visual art because it is useful. The utilitarian is elevated to the beautiful.
Crafted by artisans, functional art includes mosaics, tapestries, area rugs, a sculptural fountain, stained glass and pottery, with many, many more expressions of creativity that are useful in the very day – where useful includes the functional, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and beyond.
Hopefully great art will transport us!
Beautiful architecture is a fine example of functional art.
I hope you enjoy this! I loved writing it.
