The decorative arts are arts or crafts that create beautiful and functional objects for interior spaces rather than standalone art. They include ceramics, metalwork, furniture, textiles, and glassware. Decorative arts are applied arts that overlap with design. They are distinguished from fine arts like painting and sculpture, which are created solely for their aesthetic value.

3. Fine Art is
The decorative arts are arts or crafts whose object is the design and manufacture of objects that
are both beautiful and functional. It includes most of the arts making objects for the interiors of
buildings, and interior design, but not usually architecture. Ceramic art, metalwork, furniture,
jeweler, fashion, various forms of the textile arts and glassware are major groupings.
Applied arts largely overlaps with decorative arts, and the modern making of applied art
is usually called design.
The decorative arts are often categorized in distinction to the "fine arts", namely painting,
drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally produce objects solely for
their aesthetic quality and capacity to stimulate the intellect.

4. Mass Production And Customization
• In the context of mass production and consumerism some
individuals will attempt to create or maintain their lifestyle or to
construct their identity when forced to accept mass-produced
identical objects in their life.
• According to Campbell in his piece “The Craft Consumer” , this is
done by selecting goods with specific intentions in mind to alter
them.
• Instead of accepting a foreign object for what it is, the foreign object
is incorporated and changed to fit one's lifestyle and choices, or
customized.
