To be honest it's not something i've given a lot of thought to. I might see a picture or sculpture and think it looks nice, or hear a tune and find it catchy, but it wouldn't occur to me to try and dissect the work to discover why. Most art reviews I read in the newspaper are pretty impenetrable, though I'm sure they're invaluable for more creative types of people.

I'd probably even disagree that beauty is something that needs to be striven for.. I'm not saying that doing so is worthless but it seems pretty clear that at least some aesthetic sense is hard-wired (http://www.rifters.com/real/articles/Network_Redies_et_al_2007.pdf).
