Decorative Art Designs

Decorative arts and art designs. The term decorative arts rather loosely refers to many objects that serve a practical purpose as well as a decorative one. The design of furniture, textiles, ceramics, decorative glassware, jewelry, apparel, architectural decor, and folk art all fall into this category. Many artists have also produced decorative art: for example, Raphael created tapestry designs and Picasso produced paintings on ceramics. Architects such as Robert Adam in 18th-century Britain and Frank Lloyd Wright in the 20th-century United States considered interior design as part of the total architectural plan and designed the furnishings for many of their buildings.
