Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of beauty and taste, which in a broad sense incorporates the philosophy of art.
It examines values about artistic taste and preference. It studies how artists imagine, create, and perform works of art, as well as how people use, enjoy, and criticize it.
Aesthetics considers why people consider certain things beautiful and not others, as well as how objects of beauty and art can affect peoples’ moods and beliefs. Aesthetics tries to find answers to what exactly art is, and what makes it good. It considers what happens in our minds when we view visual art, listen to music, read poetry, enjoy delicious food, and engage in large artistic projects like creating and experiencing plays, fashion shows, films, and television programs.
