The author sets out in this book to familiarize or reacquaint the reader with the major topics and issues in aesthetics. He succeeds admirably in creating a handbook for educators wishing to incorporate aesthetics in their art programs--from elementary and secondary art teachers to higher education professionals to museum educators. From a comprehensive look at what aesthetics is to a brief view of human development in relation to art learning to a complete system for introducing aesthetics to students and moving them progressively toward more complex forms of aesthetic inquiry, this book aims for the practical concerns of the classroom educator.
