Question

Explain what aesthetics is and list its three components?

Answer 1

Reflect on the following:

Here's seven, compliments of Wikipedia.

1. Expertise or virtuosity. Technical artistic skills are cultivated, recognized, and admired.

2. Nonutilitarian pleasure. People enjoy art for art's sake, and don't demand that it keep them warm or put food on the table.

3. Style. Artistic objects and performances satisfy rules of composition that place them in a recognizable style.

4. Criticism. People make a point of judging, appreciating, and interpreting works of art.

5. Imitation. With a few important exceptions like music and abstract painting, works of art simulate experiences of the world.

6. Special focus. Art is set aside from ordinary life and made a dramatic focus of experience.

7. Imagination. Artists and their audiences entertain hypothetical worlds in the theater of the imagination.

Good luck
