问题             To facilitate entry into fine art thinking and avoid being misled in
       fundamental ways, archaeologists must understand the principles that define and
       govern each art category,  whether utilitarian,  fine or decorative. The
Line    traditional intent of a craft like ceramics is to serve a utilitarian function and its
(5)     ability to act in this capacity is essentially dependent upon the skill of properly
       shaping a vessel to correspond to its task, so neither its exact manner of
       construction (by hand or wheel, coil or slab) nor the significance of imagery
       glazed on its surface changes its primary role "to contain", though it may add to
       its value. While ceramicists must think and construct art according to certain
(10)     patterns of utilitarian form, following a prototypal model that relates to the
       artwork’s purpose, fine art has no such requirement.
           Fine artists often work in mixed or new media, evidenced by the example
       of vases created during the Greek Archaic period, which were an anomaly to the
       paradigm of earlier vases because the later ones not only served "to contain",
(15)     but also to communicate ideas. An examination of this apparent inconsistency
       reveals both the Greek’s high regard for aesthetics and the explanation that fine
       artists usually created the paintings on the vases made by potters. Though
       Greek vase painting differs greatly from the work of modern artist Pablo
       Picasso, he too painted on ceramic objects made by others. Contrasting ancient
(20)     fine art forms such as paintings and stone or metal sculptures with contemporary
       fine art forms such as computer art, video imagery, and holograms, it is
       possible to see that as the culture’s technology transforms, its changes are
       visible in the structural forms of fine art.
           At the same time, changes in fine art indicate its mandate to both reflect
(25)     and create new perceptions of the culture, but form alone is insufficient to
       classify objects into art categories. Frequently, art that serves a decorative
       function is confused with both utilitarian and fine art because of its similar
       appearance, but the function of decorative art is the form itself; it is not
       compelled to fulfill either a utilitarian task or address concepts that exemplify its
(30)     historic period. Communication would appear redundant if fine artists, like
       utilitarian and decorative artists, were to produce unlimited numbers of the
       same object. Once an idea is assimilated into the culture there is no longer a
       need to discuss it unless artists are more clearly defining or redefining it.
       Therefore, archaeologists should be aware that an artifact produced in any way
(35)     by formula is not fine art. The fine artist’s process is continuous from the
       moment of conception until a piece is complete, and thus everything is thought
       of in terms of context, so that, as a general guide, archaeologists should
      consider no mark within a work unimportant and only define its meaning in
       relation to the whole piece. [br] According to the passage, the form which fine art takes at any given historical moment is often dictated by
选项 A、the level of continuity in the artist’s thinking process
B、the concepts which exemplify the historical period of its creation
C、the technology available to the artist at the time the art piece is created
D、the level of skill which the artist brings to the art work
E、a contrast between the contemporary and ancient fine art forms
答案 C
