Aesthetic Thinking of Young Children and Adolescents: a Developmental Study

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

The sample population of students were drawn randomly from grades 3,5,6 of elementary public school,and grades 2 of junior and senior high public school in Taipei and Kinmen.

Description

The students were asked to respond to ten structured questions from the study of Freeman (1995). The categories chosen for analyzing and classifying the responses were based on a careful inspection of the answers given by the individuals and the findings of previous research.

The finding reveals that the abilities to differentiate the roles of artist and beholder increased along with grade levels. Young students tend to simplify these roles. They often think themselves as artists and beholders.

Therefore, they feel confident to infer artists\' feelings from the pictures, and agree that artists always thinking of other people\'s option when they make their works. Young students also indicate that artists\' feelings determine picture qualities. Around grade level of 5 or 6, the roles of artist and beholder are gradually differentiated.

Senior students are able to appreciate the capacity of an artist. They think not everyone can be an artist, and feel uncomfortable to infer artists\' feelings from the pictures. When the individuals aware of the differences between the artist and beholder, the roles of these two become apart.

This finding does not support the suggestion of Freeman in 1995 that a conception of the role of the artist in picture production emerged before a conception of the role of the beholder.
