The second part of this reading touched on the reason behind why we make art and how art relates to the aesthetics of design. With this vessel project  we are making a piece of art to shelter a sentimental object of our choice. I am drawn to the beauty of seashells and that is why I have chosen to make one out of wood for this vessel project. If beauty had no importance then I would be making a simple box to  put my object in, and this reading argues such. Art reaches across generations future and past. It gives us a connection to the artist that is immediate and intimate. Beauty is the outlet into our belonging in the world. It helps us feel apart of our environment in a way that is spiritual and freeing. The reading goes on saying that design's purpose is to generate happiness. It is not any means to a solution to happiness but rather a link. According to this reading beauty has value because it is the opposite of social ills like hunger. Happiness is meant to encourage different perspectives for everyone, it is subjective and something that is added to us. Design can generate beauty which can in return make people happy. By constantly enriching the environment design becomes art.
