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.
The water jar mentioned in Paragraph 2 can be described as______.
选项
A、an example of fine art
B、a product of graphic design
C、a case of industrial design
D、an object for practical use
答案
D
解析
此题是一道细节推断题,考查考生根据文章中的具体细节实例来进行总结归纳和推断的能力。问题问第二段中提到的水罐可以被描述为什么。文章第二段中前半部分指出: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。新墨西哥州阿科马印第安人村庄的一位传统制陶工人露西·刘易斯在她制造的水罐上运用了一种视觉上令人兴奋的表面装饰。然而,水罐存在的主要原因却是盛水。由此可以推断出水罐的主要功能是实用。所以,本题的答案应该是D,实用的物品。选项A:美术作品实例;B:平面造型设计产品;C:工业设计实例;这三个选项都不符合原文内容,均为干扰项。
