Excuse me aesthetic judgments comes from within!
I am not talking about humanist art....
But there are things for whatever reason will touch one or bring a lovely memory alive into one life!
IMHO, aesthetic judgement is based on an amalgam of our philosophies, our ethics, our experiences, and those ineffable qualities given to us by God. By that I mean, our innate ability to judge is modulated by those things that we are taught, or that we experience as we grow.
So, to follow that line, we may not be able to teach pure aesthetics, but our experiences can certainly influence what we determine for ourselves to be "beautiful" or "moving".
Therefore, it is possible for a sense of aesthetics to be beaten out of us early on by those who seek to destroy art and replace it with grotesques, as many in the modern, humanist school would do.
Likewise, it is possible to teach an appreciation of what constitutes true style, versus the gimmickry that Kinkade foists upon people.
This is, of course, completely separate from his sleazy marketing and unethical practices WRT "editions".
