Textile art encompasses a wide range of techniques and materials, but generally, it can be said to produce two main types of objects: decorative and functional.
1. Decorative Objects: These are items that are primarily created for aesthetic purposes to adorn spaces and are not necessarily meant for practical use. Examples include tapestries, wall hangings, embroidered pieces, quilts (when used as wall art), and other forms of fiber art that serve as visual and tactile interest in interior design.
2. Functional Objects: These are items that serve a practical purpose but are also created with artistic intent. Examples include clothing, accessories, household linens like tablecloths and bedspreads, rugs, and upholstered furniture. While these items are used in everyday life, they can also be intricately designed and crafted, showcasing the skill and creativity of the textile artist.
Both types of objects reflect the diversity of textile art, which can range from traditional crafts to contemporary art forms, blending utility with creativity.

Robert Arneson's Jackson Pollock blurs the line between craft and fine art by creating a ceramic sculpture that mimics the style of Jackson Pollock's abstract expressionist paintings. Arneson's use of clay and glaze to recreate Pollock's iconic drip painting technique challenges the traditional notion of craft as a lesser form of art compared to fine art. By elevating a craft medium like ceramics to create a fine art piece, Arneson challenges the hierarchy of art forms and blurs the distinction between craft and fine art.
The glaze in Arneson's Jackson Pollock sculpture relates to the subject by mimicking the chaotic and spontaneous nature of Pollock's paintings. The drips and splatters of glaze on the ceramic surface capture the energy and movement of Pollock's original works, effectively translating the essence of Pollock's art into a different medium. This use of glaze not only adds visual interest to the sculpture but also serves as a direct reference to Pollock's artistic style, further blurring the line between craft and fine art.

The ancient Greek philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, held a high regard for fine art and believed that it served a higher purpose than functional objects. They saw fine art as a means of expressing and capturing the essence of beauty, truth, and the human experience. They believed that fine art had the power to elevate the soul and inspire contemplation and introspection. In contrast, functional objects were seen as merely serving practical purposes and lacked the depth and meaning of fine art.
On the other hand, a nineteenth-century French philosopher, such as Charles Baudelaire, had a different perspective on the distinction between fine art and functional objects. Baudelaire believed in the concept of "l'art pour l'art" or "art for art's sake," which emphasized the value of art for its own sake, rather than for any moral or utilitarian purpose. He believed that both fine art and functional objects could be appreciated for their aesthetic qualities and that art should not be limited by its function or purpose.
I personally agree with the perspective of the ancient Greek philosophers regarding the distinction between fine art and functional objects. I believe that fine art has the potential to evoke deep emotions, provoke thought, and transcend the mundane, while functional objects are primarily designed for practical use. While I appreciate the aesthetic qualities of functional objects, I believe that fine art holds a unique and profound significance in its ability to enrich the human experience and connect us to the deeper aspects of our existence. Therefore, I align more with the ancient Greek philosophers' view that fine art serves a higher purpose than functional objects.
