Aesthetic Appreciation Report
Visual merchandising is a creative and aesthetic work. Because visual merchandisers use aesthetic judgements in creating an effective and visually pleasing display, it is important to develop a sense of aesthetic taste and be able to evaluate the aesthetic properties of an object. In this module, you will practice perceiving an object through the lenses of various ways of knowing, seeing and feeling (Greene, 2001).
This assignment invites you to engage with art in deep and thoughtful way. Please follow the steps and answer the questions.

2. Describe your feelings and emotional reactions such as delight, pleasure, joy, from exposing yourself to the aesthetic of the art. Be free in your expression and be honest.

In the next section, you are going to ponder the following: Does the value of the art come from what is put into the art object, by the person who created it? Or does its value depend on the experience that it triggers in the audience?
4. Some argue that what makes something art is the aesthetic emotion that is brings out in the audience. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
[Write your response here]
5. Other people (e.g., Leo Tolstoy) understood art primarily in terms of the artist, as an expression of the ineffable emotions of the person who created it. An artist creates as a way of communicating feelings to other people – oftentimes, feelings that can’t be expressed in mere words. By looking at the art, what feelings do you think the artist wanted to communicate to other people?
[Write your response here]
6. Some thinkers argue that the intention of the artist is really important – that the artist must want to evoke some valuable emotion in the audience for their work to be considered art. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
[Write your response here]
7. Research the artist and the period in which it was created. Research societal and
cultural environments, including available technology and the artists’ ethnicity, race and gender.
[Write your response here]

[Write your response here]
