ABSTRACT
This work considers that the elaboration of John Dewey’s aesthetic theory, presented in the book “Art as experience”, published in 1934, derives from a series of essays from the 1920s - “Experience, nature and art”, “Individuality and experience”, “Affective thought,” and “Art in education - education in art.” The work analyzes each one of these essays individually and relates its contents to the central themes of the book to offer new guidelines for the teaching work today.
