01 Which idea is challenged by the union of social use and beauty in art?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Art is only an inactive object for viewing
Explanation: The governing concept is that art can have both practical and aesthetic functions. A poster, craft object, building, garment, public installation, or designed utensil may serve a social or everyday purpose while also using beauty, form, colour, and visual appeal. This combination challenges the narrow belief that art is only a passive object placed on a wall for looking. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is not challenged because form remains important. Option C is supported because social art often communicates with viewers, and option D is also supported because useful and beautiful works can create meaningful experiences.
