Light and dark tones are used in art in order to create contrast and depth. This effect is known as chiaroscuro, and it's necessary for creating a realistic piece. I mean, think about it: without contrasting light or dark shades, there would be no shadows or highlights in the picture and it would look flat.

What are the characteristics of correct exposure over exposure and under exposure?
A "correct" exposure is one that gives you a photo with the tones and densities your artistic vision calls for. An "overexposed" picture is too light, and an underexposed one is too dark. The problem is, what are you trying to achieve with your picture? Maybe I'm taking a picture of a covered bridge where you can see the entrance. If I want the most detail in the outside of the bridge, the inside will plug up because there won't be enough exposure. If the inside is more important, the outside is going to get very light. And if the important thing to me is the river under the bridge, which is very light, then the bridge itself is going to look very dark.
