Through aesthetic education, one can better his life to be nurtured rich and more fulfilling. Studies conducted domestically on aesthetic inquiry on the curriculum are based on the aesthetic concept to explore aesthetic qualities and experiences of the courses’ contexts. Most research studies have only emphasized on the importance of aesthetic characteristics but rarely discussed in-depth the aesthetic experiences of learners. Therefore, this study integrates visual arts and literature appreciation in learning activities to explore the aesthetic experiences of 10 six- to twelve-year-old learners through a qualitative research method. We provide an alternative viewpoint for the study on the field of visual arts instructions. In this study, we found the aesthetic experiences of learners are as follows. First, children can reason with the texts and paintings, and then release their imaginations. Second, poetry combined with visual artwork can induce children to appreciate the world from different views, in order to conserve rational affective and perceptual thinking, thus contributing to a “poetic life.” Third, in the learning activities of the study design, the students can concentrate to proudly spirits, deep into creative, brave, full of confidence to overcome difficulties, to enjoy the satisfying emotional quality of the aesthetic experience. Fourth, the learning activities of the study design can lead the sensitivity and ability to interactive with the environment and create new aesthetic experiences. |
