Philosophers have thought to explain the appreciative theory in terms of a single element. Psychologists have been concerned with the empirical and objective elements of the appreciative experience as they relate to the abilities and capacities of individual appreciators. Educators have considered the appreciation of art with reference to the part it plays in establishing desirable social attitudes and enabling evaluations of aesthetic values. Artists have centered their attention upon the aesthetic and functional elements of those materials which are the common substance of the arts.
