wood‚ fiber‚ and metal-it was once common to think of crafts in terms of function‚ which led to their being known as the "applied arts." Approaching crafts from the point of view of function‚ we can divide them into simple categories: containers‚ shelters and supports. There is no way around the fact that containers‚ shelters‚ and supports must be functional.

Discuss the evolution of the idea of beauty through the history of art. The idea of beauty‚ the perfect human body‚ is a result of culture: religious functions‚ advertisements‚ economy‚ and other factors.

Reviewing current art‚ both locally and globally‚ it appears that much of it has or purports to have a political content. One reason for this focus is that technological advances encourage snatching digitized fragments from reality that document the persistent global nightmare of human inhumanity.

Every day thousands of people are diagnosed with life threatening diseases and every day thousands of people are being cured.
