Basic Assumptions, Functions,

and Nature of Arts


Introduction
Art is an expression made visible by a form. The
expression contained in the form is an attempt to translate
the unnamed and the unknown.

expression and the artist is the expresser, translating in

Functions of Arts
The functions of art normally fall into three categories.

The personal functions of art are often the most difficult to
explain. There are many types of personal function, and they
are subjective and will, therefore, vary from person to person.

2. Social Function
Art, which is the quality, production, expression or realm of
what is beautiful or more than ordinary significance, is closely
related to every aspect of social life. It tends to influence the
collective behavior of people for cause. Collective behavior is
important because it is an indicator of change
3. Physical Function
Many works of art were primarily made to perform
certain functions to make our lives comfortable.
Functions change according to form, and if there are
many functions, there will be many forms. A chair is
designed to allow the seated body to rest comfortably on
it. Its different parts (back, arm, legs and seat) are
harmoniously related to one another and integrated into
an object to fulfill a particular purpose. A spoon is a
common object for everyday use. Spoons have different
sizes and purposes. Some spoons are designed for babies
and others for adults.
