Answer: Prioritizes function over formal aesthetics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Utilitarian art refers to any artwork that sees function as its main priority, while still looking for a formal aesthetic but not as the main goal.

This kind of art produces elements that can be used for a specific function, not only as an object to be appreciated for its beauty.

An example would be an art object that can also hold water, or tell the time.
