| Abstract | Kevin Tavin has boldly gone where few would dare--to challenge the usefulness of one of the most cherished ideas in art education, that of aesthetics. The author believes that three of Tavin's arguments are completely sound: What is often offered as an entirely unproblematic idea is deeply implicated in historical repression, art education's contemporary use of aesthetic discourse is utterly confused, and the discourse is often reduced to mere formalism. Many art educators see aesthetics as a moral or ethical issue as much as a description of perceptual and felt experience; they equate, or closely associate, aesthetics with goodness. In this article, the author argues for a different kind of discourse about aesthetics. He sees aesthetics in morally neutral terms, as amoral, as neither inherently commendable nor damnable. What makes the aesthetic a moral issue are the purposes to which it is put, the ideas, values, and beliefs it is employed to offer. Tavin argues that aesthetic discourse should primarily give way to the language of representation, seeing this alternative as preferable to the baggage that "aesthetics" carries. By contrast, the author argues that the language of representation, though an important corrective to a solely sensory and elevated view of cultural sites, is not in itself adequate. Here, the author offers nine reasons why the continuing use of aesthetic discourse in art education is important, even critical. (ERIC). |
