Aesthetics deals with notions of taste, cultural conventions – ideas of art being ‘good’ and ‘bad’ based on specific cultural information and beliefs and the judgments we make based on our perceptions. As deep as visual art is embedded in the fabric of our lives, it still is the source of controversy and irony. It thrives on common experience yet contradicts ideas of ourselves. Art is part of the culture it’s created in, but can reflect many cultures at once.  PHILOSOPHERS IN ART PLATO ARISTOTLE IMANNUEL KANT -ART AS MIMESIS ART IS Art as a kind of REPRESENTATION representation that is purposive in itself.  PHILOSOPHERS IN ART LEO TOLSTOY of emotion Art as communication Promote mutual understanding Gaining awareness of each other’s feelings.
