Aesthetic Experience

The three didactic units have been developed in order to research the relation between aesthetic experience and acquisition of knowledge. The thesis (see pdf on the left) starts from three theoreticians of three generations who had researched this issue: John Dewey, Helga Kämpf-Jansen and Andrea Sabisch. The three units have an experimental character and try to find out through qualitative interviews, whether the pupil’s living in Art Perception, in Art Production and in the Experience of daily life correspond somehow to the theoreticians’ statements.
