Aesthetics

The definition of aesthetics according to wikipedia is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty art, taste and with the creation and appreciation of beauty.   "critical reflection on art, culture, and nature"  Since society changes, it is reasonable to expect the definition to become broader in society. Aesthetics "studies new ways of seeing and of perceiving the world".  Not just the old look at my work and what do you see idea.  Art evolves.  Each viewer perceives or senses what they see and feel.  So art is sensory. Art is in the eye of the beholder seems relevant.  I have had to rethink how people look at my work since I came to PSU.  This semester has changed me.  I am more open to others and my own work.  Never thought of some things.  Constant reexamination is necessary.
