Beauty and Aesthetic Value
Not what you're looking for?
Below I am asking three separate questions, the first question is just a difference in opinion. The second and third question I need some explanation as I am confused about the differences. My thought to question one is no they all all different in their own way, but I would like your opinion and why you feel that way.

Could you give me an example of criteria to show that something has aesthetic value.
