The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, > forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the > sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in > a graphic or plastic medium. b. The study of these activities. c. > The product of these activities; human works of beauty considered > as a group. > > 3. High quality of conception or execution, as found in works of > beauty; aesthetic value. I am so sick of people constantly mistaking "aesthetics" for "beauty".
