The aesthetic qualities that are discussed most
often by aestheticians are: |
|
|
|
The Literal Qualities |
|
|
|
The Design Qualities |
|
|
|
The Expressive Qualities |
|
|
|
|
An art work which emphasizes making the subject
matter look REAL, we call it Imitationalism. This is the theory of art
which says that literal qualities are the most important. |
|
|
|
|
When the elements and principles of art are most
important in a work of art, we say that that work is an example of
Formalism. |
|
|
|
|
When the expression of strong emotions, moods or
ideas is the most important aspect of a work of art, we say that it is an
example of emotionalism and we speak of the expressive qualities. |
