Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the intelligent use of electronic space that helps the virtual visitors to construct the aesthetic approach to art experience. We define aesthetic approach as a process of engagement to and learning about the work of art involving one's perceptual, cognitive and sensual awareness towards the visual image. We design hypertext contents and user interface that provide learners with a navigation system that supports their creative and aesthetic approach to their visual experience. This navigation system may forge 'visual thinking' and offer the opportunity to actively learn through which human creativity and sense can function towards aesthetic experience. This learning process can be clearly distinguished from accepting rigid facts or pre-determined interpretation of the painting and adds value to the virtual experience of artifacts in cyberspace.
