Aesthetic Project

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy which represents art, while
the word “aesthetic” is derived from aisthetikos, the Greek
word for “sense of perception” (Mastin, 2008, para.1).  Aesthetics is also
associated with axiology, and presents the question, “Can art convey truth?”
(Mastin, 2008). 

The purpose of the aesthetic project is to allow the student an
opportunity to demonstrate the essence of caring between nurse and
nursed.  A photo or scan of the project must be uploaded through the Discussion
tab in Canvas to be shared as a class presentation, along with your
summary.   A written summary of the aesthetic must accompany the
project.  Both the presentation and the summary must address the criteria
indicated with an *.  You must also submit the photo and summary to the
assignment drop box.

*Describe in a one-two page written summary and present your
work via Canvas to the class (a Discussion Board has been created for you to
submit your summary and photo).
