Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature and appreciation of art, beauty, and perception; aesthetics is central to any exploration of art. In practice, aesthetic judgment refers to the sensory contemplation or appreciation of an object or a work of art. Since the meaning of the word relies upon sensory perception, its definition is fluid, varying through time, and it is subjective, differing between people and cultures.

As a field of study, aesthetics involves ways of seeing and perceiving the world. This unit is designed as an exploration into the human creation of objects of beauty and the nature of beauty itself. It also explores the concept of aesthetics with a focus on visual arts, fashion, the culture of beauty and more.
