A. Focus. The study of aesthetics, or the philosophy of the arts, cultivates the direct experience of the senses and supplies the individual with a structure for perceiving and responding to the arts. A grasp of aesthetics empowers the individual to experience beauty in many forms, to appreciate artistic expression, and to develop insight into the creations and performances of others. By questioning concepts, weighing evidence, and examining intuitive reactions, the individual becomes increasingly discriminating in formulating preferences and conclusions about the values inherent in art. Aesthetic perception promotes creativity, flexible thinking, and the pursuit of excellence.B. Standard. Students develop aesthetic perception through the knowledge of art forms and respect for their commonalities and differences.La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § LI-711
