AESTHETICS (asz THET iks)
1. The criticism of taste
2. The sense of the beautiful
3. Having a love of beauty
4. (plural) A branch of philosophy that provides a theory of beauty and the fine arts

In common usage, this refers to the large and general sense of a person's taste. Preferences of color, form, content and scale add up to a person's aesthetic.

There is an element of culture and experience in aesthetics. While it is probably true that people all over the world equally enjoy a sunset or a bouquet of flowers, we have different ideas about what tastes good, sounds pleasant, and functions best.

Describe something that you find beautiful, and explain what it is about it that makes it beautiful.
