Art is considered by many people to be little more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sand paintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose. According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or physical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost or the dead. To counteract this evil contact, one of his relatives will employ a medicine man called a "singer" to perform a healing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the "singer" will produce a sand-painting on the floor of the Navaho Hogan. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sand-painting and the "singer" will rub the ailing parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sand-painting. In this way the patent absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After the ceremony, the sand-painting is then destroyed and disposed of, so its power will not harm anyone. The art of sand-painting is handed dawn from old "singers" to their students. The materials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit; brown, red, yellow and white sandstone, which is pulverized by being crushed between 2 stones much as com is ground into flour. The "singer" holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb and forefingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand end great patience, he is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system, the traditional Navaho does not allow reproduction of sand-paintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft. The write probably feels that most art today ______.

On the night of September 2,1600, a fire broke out in a baker’s shop near Fish Street Hill in London. Before the flames were finally put out, nearly the entire city had been reduced to ashes. Over thirteen thousand homes, fifty churches, and numerous public buildings and hospitals were lost in the blaze. For all practical purposes, London was destroyed. The Great Fire was not seen as a total tragedy, however. The miserable conditions of the city had been attacked by physicians and humanitarians for years before the fare, thus, with the opportunity clearly presented to create a shining new city, artists and craftsmen from all over England hurried to submit their designs for the rebuilding of London. Among those who submitted plans was Sir Christopher Wren, one of England’s leading architects and the Surveyor General of London. The task of rebuilding the city was given to him. Wren realized that the Great Fire would not have been so damaging if the city had been better laid out: broader streets wore needed to replace the crooked, narrow lanes overhung with old wooden houses and shops. He also felt that redesigning the main streets of London would result in increased and more effective transportation within the city. Shortly after Wren began working on his first drafts for the rebuilding, King Charles I made an announcement prohibiting the construction of any house or shop within the city limits until after the plans were completed. When the plans were revealed to the citizens of London, however, they were overwhelmingly rejected. The most active leaders of the opposition were the landlords, who feared that such a complete widening of the streets would reduce the amount of land available for development. Winter was approaching; consequently, it was necessary for the rebuilding to proceed at once. Permission was therefore, granted for the town people and landlords to commence reconstruction of their houses and shops at the sites where they had been before the fare. Had the need for immediate action not been so pressing, some kind of compromise could likely have been reached. This was not to be, however, and the ideas that could have made London one of the world’s most beautiful cities never came to pass. Which of the following describes the author’s probable attitude toward Sir Christopher Wren’s plans
