YOUNG CHILDREN CULTIVATE THE AESTHETICS OF EVERYDAY LIFE

It has been observed that in education children are taught art via unilateral practices that don’t offer a holistic connection with the everyday world. This research studies, whether children can shape a holistic aesthetic harmonized with the children's culture and development. The Action Research took place in an Experimental School, via natural, playful and experiential practices, and was aiming to harmonize art, with the children's daily life and culture. Through a three-axis program, of space-object-narration and the formation of a design-community, children showed a change of attitude towards their aesthetic role in their lives and environment.
