Another kind of distinction that can be made among works of art is whether they were originally intended as objects purely to be looked at, or as objects to be used. The FINE ARTS, such as drawing, painting, and sculpture, involve the production of works to be seen and experienced primarily on an abstract rather than practical level. Pieces of fine art may produce emotional, intellectual, sensual, or spiritual responses in us. Those who love the fine arts feel that these responses are very valuable, and perhaps especially so in the midst of "a highly materialistic world", for they expand our awareness of the great richness of life itself.
In contrast to the nonfunctional appeals of the fine arts, the first purpose of the APPLIED ARTS is to serve some useful function. Lucy Lewis, a traditional potter from Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico, has applied a visually exciting surface decoration to her water jar. But the jar’s main reason for being, however, is to hold water. Some of the people of Acoma, which may be the oldest continually inhabited city in the United States, still follow the old ways, carrying water for drinking, cooking, and washing up to their homes from natural ponds below. The forms of their water jars are therefore designed to prevent spilling and to balance readily on one’s head. The pots must also be light in weight, so Acoma water pots are some of the world’s thinnest-walled pottery. Interestingly, the languages of most Native American peoples do not include a word that means "fine art". While they have traditionally created pottery, basketry, and weaving with a good sense of design, these pieces were part of their everyday lives.
The applied art of pottery-making is one of the crafts, the making of useful objects by hand. Other applied art disciplines are similarly functional. Graphic designers create advertisements, fabrics, layouts for books and magazines, and so on. Industrial designers shape the mass-produced objects used by high-tech societies, from cars, telephones, and teapots, to one of the most famous visual images in the world: the Coca-cola bottle. Other applied arts include clothing design, interior design, and environmental design.
Which of the following is true?
选项
A、Fine arts enrich our lives.
B、Fine arts are associated with application.
C、Products of crafts are made to be looked at.
D、People in the materialistic world lack the sense of beauty.
答案
A
解析
此题是一道正误判断题,考查考生根据文章内容和相关重点细节进行正误判断的能力。问题问下面哪个说法是正确的。根据文章第一段和第二段的第一句话:美术如绘画、油画和雕塑包含的是主要从抽象层面而不是实用层面欣赏观看和感受体验的作品。美术作品可以引起我们在情感、才智、感觉或者心灵上的回应。那些热爱美术的人觉得这些回应非常宝贵,也许在“高度物质至上的世界"中尤其宝贵,因为这些美术作品扩展了我们对生活本身丰富多彩性的认识。与美术的非功能性吸引力相反,实用艺术的第一目的就是要提供某种利用功能。由此,我们可以判断出选项A是本题的正确答案,美术可以使生活更加丰富多彩。选项B:美术与应用相关,与原文内容不符;C:工艺产品生产出来是为了观赏的,与原文内容相反;D:生活在物质至上的世界里的人们缺少美感,文章中没有提到。
