Beauty is something we value instinctively. We find it in art
and in nature, in words, images and ideas, seeking it through our
senses and through our intellect, in others and in ourselves. This
book seeks to re-awaken educators to the power of beauty as an
educational concept, to its relevance for schools and the current
needs of students and teachers. Drawing upon a range of practical
examples, Winston considers the nature and meaning of the
experience of beauty, analysing its cognitive, affective and moral
energies in order to demonstrate how beauty can provide young minds
with some of their most powerful educational experiences.
Incorporating examples across the curriculum at all levels of
schooling, Winston argues that a due consideration of beauty in
education can address some of the more fundamental problems that
continue to bedevil policy and practice. With its clarity of style
and wealth of practical examples, it will be of great interest to
academics, teachers and education students at the graduate and
postgraduate levels.
