What is the meaning of Art Theory?
Art Theory is like Music Theory.. a non-sequitor. Theory implies that there is a "science" to them, and while that is very loosely true, most art and music is a result of subjective tastes.
That being said, art theory is the study of technique, medium, and style used by artists to create certain affects or feels.
Just as one minor (and rather superficial example) in an art theory class you might study the use of shading to create the illusion of shadow and depth in a drawing.
