Reality is as it changes, and flexibility in art is a visual likelihood of a thing's changing in space, while remaining what it is. As a stem of a flower sways in the wind, we have a sight of flexibility. Yieldingness as sight is much in pictures; the yieldingness that makes for strength is what we look for in art.

Functional Art Examples Some typical kitchen objects, such as chopping boards or trays, become works of art in wood, ceramic, marble, or resin that become integral parts of dishes to be served to guests or family.

Functional art refers to aesthetic objects that serve utilitarian purposes. The genre is remarkably inclusive: it encompasses everything from furniture and lighting to dishes and even books. Functional art is generally applied art - art created for use, designed to serve a purpose and with an aesthetic in mind.
