The study of aesthetics deals with art criticism and art history. Which aesthetic theory focuses on design elements and organizational principles?

The aesthetic theory that focuses on design elements and organizational principles is known as Formalism. This approach emphasizes the visual aspects of art, such as color, line, shape, and composition, rather than context, meaning, or emotional impact. Formalism analyzes how these elements interact to create a cohesive work, prioritizing the form and structure over content or narrative.
