Art has had a great number of different functions throughout its history making its purpose difficult to
abstract or quantify to any single concept. This does not imply that the purpose of art is "vague" but that
it has had many unique different reasons for being created. Some of the functions of art are provided in
the outline below. The different purposes of art may be grouped according to those that are non-
motivated and those that are motivated (Levi-Strauss)
Art at this level is not an action or an object, but an internal appreciation of balance and harmony
(beauty), and therefore an aspect of being human beyond utility
Art provides a way to experience one's self in relation to the universe This experience may often come
unmotivated as one appreciates art, music or poetry.
Art provides a means to express the imagination in nongrammatical ways that are not tied to the
formality of spoken or written language. Art provides a range of forms, symbols and ideas with
meanings that are malleable.
Starry Night
by Vincent van Gogh is a great example of art showing imagination. The painting's swirling brushstrokes
create a dreamy night sky with stars and a moon. It goes beyond reality, reflecting van Gogh's
Imaginative vision of the cosmos. The colors and patterns evoke emotions that words can't capture
urging viewers to use their imagination to understand its special meaning.
Art in different cultures is often used for decoration or symbolism In rituals and performances Even
though it doesn't have a practical purpose anthropologists recognize its Important cultural meanings
These meanings come from many generations and are linked to the culture's beliefs
1. Communication
Like other forms of communication, it often has a purpose aimed at someone else For instance scientific
illustrations or maps are forms of art for communication Yet art isn't limited to science - it can also
convey emotions and feelings
Guernica
Guernica of Pablo Picasso exemplifies an as communication. Depicting the horrors of war in response to
the bombing of Guernice the painting's chaotic and abstract forms convey the pain and
angusnexoenensed by victims it communicates the artist's anti-war message. Direct transcending
language to evoke powerful emotions in viewers
2. Art as Entertainment
Art may seek to bring about a entertaining the viewer This is often the function of the art industries of
Motion Pictures and particular emotion or mood, for the purpose of relaxing or Video Games
Art for political change. One of the defining functions of Russian constructivism and among others are
early twentieth-century art has been to use visual images to bring about political change. Art
movements that had this goal-Dadaism Surrealism. Abstract Expressionism collectively referred to as the
avante-garde arts.
Unlike the avant-garde movements, which wanted to erase cultural differences in order to produce new
universal values, contemporary art has enhanced its tolerance towards cultural differences as well as its
subversion deconstruction) critical and liberating functions (social inquiry, activism becoming a more
open place for research and experimentation
The Family of Man by Edward Stelenen exemplifies the role of art as a free zone that celebrates cultural
differences while emphasizing shared humanity demonstrates how.contemporary aut can serve as a
catalyst for critical thinking cultural exchange and social activismu, presenting a global perspective on
the human experience through the medium of photography
While similar to art for political change subversive or deconstructivist art may seek to question aspects
of society without any specific political goal in this case the function of art may be simply to criticize
some espect of society
6. Art for social causes
Art can be used to raise awareness for a large variety of causes. A number of art activities were aimed at
raising awareness of autism, cancer, human trafficking, and a variety of other topics, such as ocean
conservation, human rights in Darfur, murdered and missing Aboriginal women, elder abuse and
pollution Trashion using trash to make fashion, practiced by artists such as Marina DeBris is one example
of using art to raise awareness about pollution.
The AIDS Memorial Quit exemplifies how art can be a powerful tool for social change by raising
awareness fostering empathy and advocating for a cause it's a testament to the ability of art to
transcend its medium and become a catalyst for meaningful conversations and actions around critical
social issues
Art is employed in art therapy by therapists like psychologists One methon the Diagnostic Drawing
Series gauges a patient's emotions and personality The aim is healing through creative expression, not
the eno ant plece. The created art can reveal insights into the patient's problems and inform traditional
therapy methods.
By Puda kallth serves as poignant example of how art can be harnessed for psychological and healing
purposes. Through her self portrait, Kahlo engaged a process of self discovery, emotional release on
personal empowerment ultimately demonstrating the therapeutic potential of artistic expression
Art is often utilized as a form of propaganda and thus can be used to subtly influence popular
conceptions or mood in a similar way, art that tries to sell a product also influences mood and emotion.
In both cases, the purpose of art here is to subtly manipulate the viewer into a particular emotional or
psychological response toward a particular idea or object
It has been argued that the ability of the human brain by far exceeds what was needed for survival in
the ancestral environment One evolutionary psychology explanation for this is that the human brain
andassociated traits (such as artistic ability and creativity) are the human equivalent of the peacock's tail.
The purpose of the male peacock's extravagant tail has been argued to be to attract females. According
to this Theory superior execution of art was evolutionarily important because it attracted mates.
