Aesthetic education not only goes hand in hand with intellectual education, moral education and physical education, but also has its unique functions and laws and occupies an important position in the whole education. The law of aesthetic education is basically the law of aesthetics. Its mystery lies in the aesthetic feeling when people appreciate beauty. Aesthetic feeling is not mysterious, fundamentally speaking, the direct cause of emotion is people's judgment and evaluation of objective things.
The history and expression of aesthetic education;
Beauty is powerful, and education without aesthetic education is incomplete. Thousands of years ago, Confucius put forward "taking poetry, ceremony and music as the foundation", emphasizing the role of aesthetic education in personality cultivation. Mr Cai Yuanpei once shouted: "Aesthetic education is the most important and basic education in life". Jobs also bluntly said that the biggest difference between Apple and other computer companies is that they always pursue art and beauty while pursuing technology.
Although aesthetic education has always been a process of perceptual activities, rational social content is dissolved in the perceptual form of the object, and human rational ability is historically accumulated in the perceptual intuition of the subject. It carries out comprehensive education of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty in a unique way. Taking it as a form is no longer the essence of aesthetic education.
