Decorative arts refer to art forms that focus on the design and aesthetics of functional objects, emphasizing craftsmanship and beauty while serving practical purposes. This category includes a wide range of items, such as ceramics, glassware, textiles, furniture, and metalwork. An example of decorative arts is a beautifully crafted vase, which serves the functional purpose of holding flowers while also being an artistic statement in its design.
Decorative design is the use of items, forms, and colors to create a visual aesthetic. The four main types of decorative design are naturalistic, abstract, geometric, and biomorphic design.
The possessive form of the plural noun arts is arts'.Example: Mr. Boland is one of the arts' teachers.
M.C. Escher began creating art in the early 20th century, specifically after he graduated from the School for Architecture and the Decorative Arts in Haarlem, Netherlands, in 1922. Initially focused on graphic arts and printmaking, he developed his distinctive style characterized by intricate tessellations and impossible constructions in the late 1930s and 1940s. His work gained significant recognition in the 1950s, showcasing his unique mathematical and spatial explorations.
