The document discusses art appreciation and the human faculties of mind, will, and senses. It analyzes art based on these three faculties, noting that formal art can be judged objectively by lines and colors alone, while also being subjective by representing the viewer's imagination and thoughts. The process of art appreciation involves an initial positive response to the beauty of artworks, followed by perceiving sense-data, meanings, and feelings, and communicating reactions. Art is seen as reality in different forms such as talent, emotion, ideas, or abstract and representational images.
