a) How does Adams define art? Do you agree with his definition?
According to the article written by Adams, he divide art into three types: literary art, fine art and decorative art. In fact, I don't think that nowadays art can be simply definited. Contemporary art is a good example to show this fact. In the 20 century, artworks are no longer be sorted out just painting, sculpture, dance and music etc. Art today can be mixed with different elements and medium. Some art can be overlapped in two types. Such as some artwork in the movement of conceptual art. The three types definited by Adams seems ambiguous. Besides, I agree with the point that Adams quoted from a novelist, Leo tolstoy. He stated that the function of art is to pass on cultural values from one generation to the next, to serve a sort of moral purpose. Whether art can be definited, it has no doubt that art has a function of educating new generation. Art in different periods can reflect the social state and history.
