6. Esthetic Education
the science of beautiful (A. Baumgarten)
the attempt to understand our experiences of and the concepts
we use to talk about objects that we find perceptually
interesting and attractive (Crawford)
the synthesis of what one already knows, feels, and desires
with what the subject offers (Rosenblatt)
an intentional undertaking designed to nurture appreciative,
reflective, cultural, participatory engagements with the arts by
enabling learners to notice what is there to be noticed, and to
lend works of art their lives in such a way that they can
achieve them as variously meaningful. When this happens,
new connections are made in experience: new patterns are
formed, new vistas are opened. Persons see differently,
resonate differently… (M. Greene)
