Saying that an art work is beatiful or ugly is a complex process, in this process it is needed both an object and a subject. It has been examined how natural and man made (artifical) objects which are in works of art affect viewer's appreciation judgement. While object has been explicated with criteria of beauty like ratio-symetry, harmony, expression, composition, etc. in the aspects of artistic and philosophical, subject has been explored in phisicological and sociological dimentions and results has been showed that different socio-cultures, socio-economics and education level bring different viewer's appreciation for works of art. Also psychological conditions, charactarize, feelings and emotions of a viewer effect on getting appreciation, too.
