LAST POST       For my opinion, when I learn this subject (Design Aesthetics), its give me many experience and it strengthen my cooperation when working with other. Saya dapat mengukuhkan hubungan dengan rakan-rakan melalui aktiviti-aktiviti sepanjang mempelajari subjek Reka Bentuk Estetika ini. Sebagai contoh, Field Task yang dijalankan di Pekan Tanjong Malim dan aktiviti mengikuti konsert tarian terbanyak.  Semua ini sebuah pengalaman yang amat berharga. Sepanjang mempelajari kos ini juga kami dapat pensyarah yang sangat fun dan sporting iaitu Dr. Tan. Semoga kami dapat terus menjadi pelajar Dr. Tan walaupun Dr. sudah tidak mengajar kami🙆. Dan saya berharap kami dapat mempraktikkan apa yang telah kami pelajari di dalam subjek ini apabila kami melakukan assignment dan apabila kami berada di industri kelak😊.

Today we learn about how to evaluate aesthetics. HOW TO EVALUATE AESTHETICS? Subjectivism→→ The doctrine that knowledge is merely subjective and that there is no external or objective truth. Ojectivism→→ The belief that certain things, especially moral truths, exist indepently of human knowledge or perception of them. Relativism→→ The doctrine that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute. 3 inch feet Venus of Willendorf Emotivism→→ An ethical theory that regards ethical and value judgments as expressions of feeling or attitude and prescriptions of action, rather than assertions or reports of anything.
