soo.. what's with all this positive & negative stuff?

It's day five of my research assignment and i have just been gathering everything i've found that is related to my philosophical idea. I haven't found many concepts yet but i've came across concepts of negative and positive 'Aesthetic experiences' . . . interesting hey ?

Reading back over previous posts i have mentioned from a philosopher that Aesthetics is an experience by perception. Furthermore perception has to involve concentration on some aspect of the environment. The longer and more concentrated the individual is, the more lastingly and vivid the experience tends to be. This in result improves the quality of perception.

          Now, talking about negative and positive experiences, a negative would acquire the characteristics of the individual trying to find what they are missing, escaping what is depressing them or being unfulfilled. The individual would most likely try or want to change the situation they are in. They are concentrated on the fact they want to differ the situation which is why the feeling will last longer. This triggers an unpleasing emotion which is a negative Aesthetic experience.

I'll find out some more info on the positive aesthetic experience and hit it up in the next post! but for now ciao! :)
