Despite the complexity of the literature and aesthetics, many art education believe the material can be made understandable and relevant to children(Crawford, 1987 : Hamblen, 1988: Lanier, 1986: Lankford, 1992). In order to do so, one must first agree on a definition of aesthetics. A though there are other possible definitions, a readily comprehensible definition is that aesthetics is philosophical inquiry into the nature of art (Hagaman, 1988: Hagaman, 1999), To quote Hagaman, directly, the “content(cI aesthetics) deals with general questions about art such as “What is art?”, “What’s the difference between a work of art and a copy?”,” Are there criteria that can be used in evaluation all works of art?”, and “ is the concept of originality in art a meaningful one”(1990, p. 1)? These are questions that can become the stimuli for philosophical inquiry in the classroom.
