Alternative education. Art -- Study and teaching (Elementary) |
| Descripción: | This thesis presents a description of a five-month project involving the educational unit of a large urban museum and its interaction with a group of elementary-aged students from a disadvantaged community. The description is framed within a philosophic premise that puts emphasis on aesthetic experience. Within this framework, I argue that aesthetic experience can be a valuable component in the development of a range of human faculties---intellectual, affective and imaginative. Moreover, borrowing from Aristotle's conception of rationality, I maintain that only when an individual cultivates and employs all his or her faculties can he or she be considered a rational individual. With this perspective in mind, in the final section, I argue that non-traditional educational projects emphasizing aesthetic experiences, such as the one examined in this study, can enhance an educational system that makes knowledge acquisition its priority. |
