Art Art is a Human activity that requires certain degree of technical ability or skills.
I describe it as “a form of human expression driven by more than just basic instinct.”
“Art is a way of making images, or objects, or experience, that reflects emotions, spiritual ideas or religious feelings that make us think about ourselves and the world.”
Art Theory For Beginners page 9.
Aesthetic is a branch of philosophy / idea about what makes an object / experience, attractive or beautiful.
Art Theory is an attempt to explain the reasoning behind the creation of an artwork.

Aesthetic comes from the Greek word "aesthesis" which means perception.
Aesthetic is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and with the creation

indeed fine art rather than craft..?

aesthetic theories1. Artist created a beautiful thing by combining a representation of
something REAL and a conceptual IDEAL.

(mimesis)art must represent goodness,
beauty & truth
nature is imitation of something higher/"idea" & only "idea" is perfect

true reality & true beauty
Don't be like that Plato..Art is just an imitation of nature; an
inspiration, the more it
resembles the original, the
better.

aesthetic theories
I believe art should fit for a function
then it will be beautiful
I think we could agree on that
Plato, but I’d like to call it a
unity of form

PERFECT THEORY.
1. Artist created a beautiful thing by combining a representation of something REAL and a conceptual IDEAL.
COPYING REALITY(realism) & IDEAL --> Raphael
In order to paint beautiful woman, I
should have to see many beautiful woman ...; but
since there are so few beautiful woman and so
few sound judges, I make use of a certain
idea that comes into my mind.
Galetea by Raphael (1483-1520)

what is the difference between Aesthetics & TasteAesthetics is the philosophical notion of beauty. Taste is a result of education and awareness of elite cultural values; therefore taste can be learned. Taste varies according to class, cultural background, and education. According to Kant, beauty is objective and universal; thus certain things are beautiful to everyone. The contemporary view of beauty is not based on innate qualities, but rather on cultural specifics and individual interpretations.
Aesthetic judgmentAccording to Alexander Baumgarten, we all make "aesthetic judgment," as we see certain artworks as superior o others. "Reason applied to art will give us truly aesthetic understanding."
Critique of judgmentAccording to Kant, there is no scientific rule for determining what beauty is. The perception of beauty-that is, "the judgment" of beauty-involves the eye, the mind, and the perception of the beholder (imagination and understanding)

MEANING &
SKILL
Art Theory is ...." a set of principles that attempts to reflect on why we describe certain
objects or events as art, and which can help identify common characteristics of work of art."
Conclusion of Aesthetics....Art can be seen as part of a larger (visual & non-visual) culture. To see art objects and how they relate to a broader culture, for example politics, power structures, gender, technology, etc.
"Art is a form of visual curiosity, which means that it is always in some sense about how we view ourselves and others in the world...

Out of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeoning of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.
