    1.

    What kind of practical functions do you think our first few art
    forms served?

    Paintings are arts that are acquired to be displayed or installed


    by collectors or homeowners who wants an art piece in their space. On
    the other hand, artworks which serves purposes other than being
    displayed are called functional art. Functional art refers to attractive
    things that fulfill utilitarian needs, occupying the precarious gap
    between fine art and the ordinary. The genre is astonishingly broad,
    encompassing everything from furniture and lighting to dishes and
    even literature. Functional arts incorporate intellectual, emotional
    sensibility, and as well as a dose of archaic beauty. In simple terms,
    functional art merge the aesthetic side of art and the usefulness of it in
    ordinary life. For instance, art like pottery serves as a pot for holding
    liquids or plates or bowls from which food can be served. Art pottery is
    any ceramic object made from clay and other raw materials that is
    intended to be ornamental rather than functional. These objects might
    be tiles, dinnerware, figurines, pots, or anything else. Because of their
    artistic merit, these potteries are sometimes called fine art. They are
    classified as objects in archaeology. These kinds of arts are widely
    spread in Asia especially in China. Rare kinds of art pottery are quite
    expensive due to the fact that it is made intricately and the amount of
    work necessary is vast. Clay is an example of materials utilized to
    create this art and sometimes artists source their supplies with limited
    stream. Hence, high-end pottery is indeed luxury due to its difficulty to
    produce.

    2. What do you think were the materials that people in the past
    source from their environment to be able to create such
    functional art forms?

    Pottery has been there ages ago, for instance, in Neolithic period.
    These were one of the earliest art forms in history. It represents their
    culture, tribe, and lifestyle. Pottery is defined as clay that has been
    shaped, dried, and burned into a vessel or ornamental item, generally
    with a gloss or finish. Clay is a natural material extracted from the soil
    that has decomposed over millions of years from rock within the
    planet's crust. Decomposition happens when water erodes, breaks
    down, and dumps the rock. It is critical to understand that a clay body
    is not the same as clay. Clay bodies are clay combined with additives
    that give the clay distinct qualities when handled and burnt; hence,
    pottery is formed from a combination of clay and other materials rather
    than raw clay.

    The Philippine pottery tradition reached its pinnacle between 200 BC


    and 900 AD, during the Metal Age, when the people of the Philippines
    were exploring specialized ceramic shapes, patterns, and processes.
    This time period is known as the Golden Age of Pottery. Nevertheless, a
    drop in the pottery industry was observed during the colonial era when
    commerce in the Philippines started to diminish due to the upheaval
    and displacement of local inhabitants and economies brought on by
    the Manila Galleon Trade.

    In today’s era, pottery is frequently regarded as calming and healing.


    Your body and mind naturally work together to spin clay while you
    focus on your creative aspirations and objectives. This reflective,
    artistic activity can clear your thoughts and make you less concerned
    about the outer world. It is said that pottery is a great way for creative
    outlet, reduces stress, improves focus, increases optimistic output, and
    many others.
