- a lot to consider between ourselves and artistic expression. Aesthetic psychologists have tried to understand this from a scientific perspective for years. According to them, we can understand an aesthetic experience through objective, quantitative analysis of how shapes and colours in particular artworks influence parts of the brain. But does this tell us everything about aesthetic experience?
- Aristotle (Greek philosopher) thought that artwork was much more than the sensation it created in the mind. Art becomes art because of our interaction with it.
- now, some believe we cannot understand aesthetic experiences through objective, quantitative analysis, but must attend to the subjective experience of every individual. Namely, how an artwork appears differently to every person.
- 'the magic of art' then does not exist in the artwork itself, but in the interaction between the art, the viewer and their own social history.
