Writing/judging the visual aesthetics and criticism (Matt Bowman)

  • Aesthetic development
  • Significance and value of artworks by focusing on the form of the artwork and art experience
  • More technical usage – distinguish from philosophy of art
  • Philosophical aesthetics and the philosophy of art – used interchangeably as terms, generally representing different philosophical approaches to understanding the significance of art
  • Immanuel Kant – The Critique of Judgement – in this book he examines the philosophy of aesthetics 
  • Aesthetic judgements (i.e. Saying something is beautiful) = disinterested judgements
  •  Disinterested judgements focus on the form of artefacts not on their meaning, context usefulness, politics, morals or anything extraneous to the artefacts form.
  • Aesthetic judgements= reflective judgements
  • Aesthetics judgements are not determinate judgements
  • Reflected judgements are not based on rules
  •  Universal voice or common sense
  • Jeff Koons – Michael Jackson and Bubbles
  • Louis-Michel van Loo
In terms of my studies the overall aesthetic of a garment or fabric are highly important and often affects if you purchase the item or not, i.e. if the fabric of a garment is corse and rough you might be less likely to wear it compared to a light and soft fabric.
