Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

Philosophy of Art is concerned with the perception, interpretation, expression, and creation of works of art and beauty. It asks, What does it mean to describe anything as aesthetic? What is a work of art? What do artists do? How can we understand a work of art? Does art have more to do with emotion than reason? We will examine the nature of aesthetic experience as well as works of art, including painting, photography, film, architecture, sculpture, music, literature, theater, dance, and popular arts like television and video.
