What are the purposes of art in society? Art has many functions and
purposes to both the individual artist, the viewer and to the community
as a whole. In this module you will look at the purpose and function of
art and be able to recognize these concepts as they apply to works of
art. After finishing this module, you should be able to
understand:

Break down the topics above onto separate pages in your notebook

each. This will provide you with a way to quiz yourself as your
work your way through this domain of study.
