La importancia de la educación estética

Abstract

Today, many educators advocate for expanding the educational concept by daring to promote other learning options in children and young people, without excluding that of the intellect. Along with all of the above, beauty is breaking through. The beautiful from Latin bellus means elegant, kind. We call beautiful a certain ideal, different from the sublime, applicable to a beautiful landscape, a good horse, or an excellent car. Thus, the beautiful corresponds to an aesthetic ideal and will have the value that we want to grant or propose.Hoy, muchos educadores que abogan por ampliar el concepto educativo atreviéndose a fomentar otras opciones de aprendizaje en niños y jóvenes, sin excluir la del intelecto. Junto a todo lo anterior, la belleza está irrumpiendo con fuerza. Lo bello del Latín bellus, significa elegante, amable. Denominamos bello a un determinado ideal, distinto de lo sublime, aplicable a un hermoso paisaje, un buen caballo, o un excelente coche.
