"The Foundations of Aesthetics, Art, and Art Education"
addresses the need for a single reference that will provide
educators and educational psychologists with fundamental
information and an appraisal of current research in this
challenging area. The contributors to this informative volume
assert that aesthetics is a basic human response and that attendant
educational issues are best understood from the perspective of the
social and behavioral sciences--pyschology, sociology, and biology.
They present the latest theoretical and empirical knowledge of the
biological, social, cognitive, and philosophical bases of
aesthetics as it relates to the teaching of the arts. The
introductory chapters review psycho-biological and sociological
perspectives of aesthetics. These are followed by chapters
discussing the psychological dimensions of aesthetics, including
creativity, personality, visual thinking, problem finding, and
developmental processes.
