Definitions

I wanted to post this because the first thing I have to do was get a definition for these words.

"Aesthetics (
also spelled æsthetics) is commonly known as the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment and taste.[1] More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature."[2][3] Aesthetics is a subdiscipline of axiology, a branch of philosophy, and is closely associated with the philosophy of art.[4] Aesthetics studies new ways of seeing and of perceiving the world.[5]" (Wikipedia,2009)

"
Composition (visual arts), the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art in a work" (Wikipedia, 2009)

  1. GOOD IDEA! As an artist I always feel I know what the words mean, but over the years my understandings have been altered/affected. Definitely beneficial to refresh.. I'm going to do a similar thing :)
