Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Arts and Crafts is an English aesthetic and social movement from the second half of the nineteenth century that advocates creative crafts as an alternative to mechanization and mass production. Bringing together theorists and artists, the movement seeks to revalue manual work and recovers the aesthetic dimension of industrially produced objects for everyday use.

As indicated by architecture, furniture, objects and illustrations made in subsequent movements, the style aims to revalue beauty, making it available to all. The close articulation between art and industry, function and form, utility and ornament seems to be the primary goal of the artists.

True! The Arts and Crafts movement took focus from art to the artistic craftsmanship of simple articles such as home furnishings (tables, chairs, benches, etc).
