Latiannas Collage Of Life: Desgin in our life . Field trip #2

_*For the second field trip we went to the MoMA again,this time for a different assignment. We were assigned the task of find four works of art, two we found to be highly functional and two we found non-functional. I started my search for my works on the sixth floor first because it was something new to me, children growing by design. In the middle of my search I realized that I had no clue what exactly I was looking for. I decided to start my search on the third floor instead, there I found a better understanding as well as my four works

_* Most of the art shown was geared towards household designs so I found it all to be functional in some way.What stood out to me most had to have been the giant helicopter hanging down in the air. I found the Bell-47DI helicopter to be highly functional because even though airplanes are more popular and convenient, helicopters still served and serve some purpose. They are even still used as a mode of transportation in some areas of the world. Helicopters were used for traffic servalliance, delivery of mail, and crop spraying as well as pest control. Police offers and rescue crews even use helicopters to search for and rescue those in need.it would be quite ridiculous to try to do such in an airplane.

_*Another work on display I found to be highly functional is "truck:Utility14 ton 4x4(M38AI) jeep. I find this highly functional because much like the helicopter it is another important mode of transportation. This jeep was designed for use by the United States Army during World War II . I realized that the jeep has no doors or roof. I soon found out the nonexistence of the doors made it easier to jump in and out of the jeep during combat. In tht time and still today , jeeps are highly functional and of good use.

_*The work I found to be nonfunctional is the "Three-legged side chair ". To me it had no greater value or meaning than any other chair that Watson display. There were much fancier and well designed pieces of furniture there that made this one look so ordinary. The only difference and significance would be that it had three legs instead of the normal four. Still very nonfunctional in my opinion.

_*the last piece I find nonfunctional is "fork,1950". I say this because yes,they are forks,but they can not be of much use if each of the three forks are bent in ways most unusable. What is the port of a fork if it cannot be used to its original purpose? I can't say they aren't interesting to look at but highly functional they are not. It does on the bright side ,make me wonder what the artist attempted to eat three times that caused this sort of deformity. Perhaps they two,were bent out of shape.
