Another Look at Aesthetic Education.

Sardello, Robert J.

Teachers College Record, v84 n2 p317-25 Win 1982

We have not learned to experience beauty as an essential, pervasive dimension of our actions. Aesthetic sensibility represents the child in us imbued with spontaneity, imagination, and unity of soul and action. This sensibility makes it possible to reevaluate the world in terms of metaphor, image, fantasy, and dreams. (PP)
