1. Can you determine which among the pictures are functional and non-
Analysis functional arts? (Lesson 6.2)
-The pictures that are functional are pictures 1, 6, 7, 9 and 11 because
it is stated that functional art are Objects that are both beautiful and useful.
Everything from furniture and lighting to dishes and even literature falls
within this genre's scope. Art developed for use, meant to fulfil a purpose, and
with an aesthetic in mind is referred to as functional art. Functional art refers
to attractive things that fulfil utilitarian needs, occupying the liminal region
4’33 Orchestra between fine art and ordinary life. Everything from furniture and lighting to

-The non-functional art are pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10 because non-
functional art is inadequate as an antonym for utilitarian art. Even if the
function is merely aesthetic, all art serves a purpose. In his Critique of
Judgment, Immanuel Kant claimed in 1790 that tastes are disinterested in the
sense that they have no influence on genuine human requirements. Paintings,
sculpture, and other forms of fine art are included under non-functional art.
On a thinker, tactile, or visual level, these works often strive to connect with
the audience. The worth of artworks is determined by their search for this
sensitivity rather than their functional benefits.
2. Listen to the composition 4’33‖ by John Cage. Write an essay justifying that
this piece is music based on institutional theory. (Lesson 6.3) minimum of
200 words.
-Yes it is a music based on institutional theory because as it is explained that
4’33’’ by John Cage is a musical work in 1952, which was first played on
August 29 of that year. Because it consisted entirely of silence or, more
accurately, ambient sound—what Cage referred to as "the absence of intended
noises," it immediately became one of the most controversial musical works
of the twentieth century. According to the one article that I have read, The
work's manuscript stated that it was written "for any instrument or
combination of instruments" and that there were three movements of set
duration—33 seconds, 2 minutes 40 seconds, and 1 minute 20 seconds,
respectively. Cage conceived the piece in 1948 and gave it the working title
"Silent Prayer." "Tacet" (Latin: "[it] is quiet," used in music to imply that the
musician is not to play) was Cage's sole direction to the performer(s) for each
movement. Pianoist David Tudor used a stopwatch to perform the initial
performance of 4′33′′, opening and shutting the piano lid at the proper
intervals.

Despite the fact that most audience members had no clue what to make
of Cage's piece at first—and some even departed in a huff—it became
evident to the astute that the work was designed to assist the audience
understand the impossibility of true quiet in life. Coughing audience
members, squeaky chairs, and even leaving footsteps all contributed to
the strange mix. Therefore it can be considered as a part of institutional
theory of art since institutional theory is a concept concerning the nature
of art that asserts that an object may only become art in the setting of the
"artworld" institution. And both of the audience and artist are aware that
they both see an artwork with the composition of silence.
