Aesthetic Education

Examples of Service

Classrooms that have joined the Aesthetic Education program and been trained in its use will attend two authentic arts experiences a year and have four in-classroom lessons supported by an Aesthetic Education Teaching Artist per experience.

Our Story

Aesthetic Education was founded by the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York.  Aesthetic Education provides classroom teachers with a method to implement inquiry-based, experiential units of study around specific works of art with the support of teaching artists. Through participatory activities and reflections, students further develop their capacities for observation, analysis, questioning, and meaning making, allowing them to deeply engage and experience works of art while making connections to their personal experiences, the outside world, and beyond.
