What is aesthetic development?
Aesthetic development deals with being artistic, learning to appreciate art and beauty, and being able to create art in any way that is pleasing.
Aesthetic development can be encouraged early on in life, even during infancy.
Aesthetic experiences emphasize doing things for the pure joy of it. (Mayesky, 2009)
Aesthetic development takes place in secure settings free of competition and adult judgment. (Mayesky, 2009)
Young children benefit from aesthetic experiences.
They love nature and enjoy creating, looking at, and talking about art.
They express their feelings and ideas through language, song, expressive movement, music, and dance.
Three basic ways to provide young children developmentally appropriate aesthetic experiences in the early childhood (Golbert & Taunton, 1992): Provide many opportunities to create art Provide many opportunities to look at and talk
about art Help children become aware of art in their
everyday lives
