aesthetics

"The philosophy of the beautiful, or a set of principles of good taste and the appreciation of beauty" (Oxford English Dictionary)

So it's an arts subject, but I wouldn't translate it as "art".
Peer comment(s):

agree Refugio : More like a philosophy subject than an arts subject as such

Aesthetics

"Since 1980 I have teached at UNAM Aesthetics, Ethics, Introduction to Philosophy..."

Por lo que veo, Arte y Estética no son lo mismo en lo que respecta a materias académicas.

aesthetics refers to the principles of beauty / harmony

There are schools whereby art as a form of expression can be as ugly as it pleases.
