Applied aesthetics applies the philosophy of aesthetics to cultural creations, aiming to achieve a synergistic blend of practical functionality and aesthetic appeal in design. This principle is evident in fields like architecture, where considerations such as ornamentation and the interaction of light enhance structural utility, and in interior design, which utilizes elements like color harmony and Feng Shui for aesthetic impact. A more contemporary application is digital art, a new form that, while paralleling traditional media, raises questions about what constitutes art due to its interactive qualities and the perceived effort involved in its creation. Furthermore, aesthetics significantly influences education, with figures like John Dewey and Elliot Eisner exploring how design principles affect student thinking and learning processes.
