Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1: Does an art object have to serve a function to be art?

This type of question needs an answer from the one reading the question.  However, I feel that an art object doesn't have to serve a function to be art. because art should speak for itself.

Question 2: Are art objects valuable in themselves, without any functions?

Art objects need to operate in some way all art exists for a cause and these motivations make up the functions of art.
