Description

<p>This study reconsiders the theory of art in John Dewey’s Art as Experience with the aim of understanding the significance of ­experience and how it figures in this theory. Dewey’s theory, which provides an in-depth inquiry into the relation between art and education in modern times, conceptualises ‘artistic appreciation’, the ‘reception of art’, ‘aesthetic experience’ and ‘esthetic quality’, based on experience. In addition, this study offers a reconsideration of art education in the present day. Dewey saw artistic activity as something not only in the creation of works of art but also in daily life; he understood it within a larger framework. He argued that both the creation and the viewing of art are creative activities; therefore, experiences that have certain aesthetic properties become rich aesthetic experiences. This study points out that Dewey’s theory of art anticipated the concept of communication in art education today.</p>
