Object Impressionism Journal – Entry 6

What’s the function of a cup? We use it to easily fill it up with something to drink at the moment or maybe a few minutes after. Rather than having a function of accessibility, does it also have a function of sophistication? For example, fancy teacup sets that cost almost a hundred fifty dollars. That doesn’t seem like it’d be in an average person’s arsenal. Although I’m mostly talking about ceramic cups that can be used over and over again, there are plastic and styrofoam cups that are used once and thrown out. They may not be intended for the purpose of being used multiple times through, but in some cases, these plastic and styrofoam cups may be all a person has. On the other hand, we have these vacuum flasks that store liquids at its intended temperature for quite awhile. The ceramic mug sitting in your self may seem like a very common household item, but it’s not something we should take for granted. We should be grateful these containers holding our favorite drinks are in existence because, without them, we’d be cupping our hands or leaving the water running from sink to brush our teeth.
