In this book, the issue of aesthetic education comes to the fore, that is, that field of education which, since the publication of the book by the eminent English philosopher, aesthetician and educator, Herbert Read, titled "Education through Art". "Education through art", began to be called - also in our country - education through art. Thus, the title of this book marks the important close connection that exists between aesthetic education and education through art. For works of art "aesthetically educate" individual people, individual societies and all of humanity by the very reflection and presence of their content, content and form in the consciousness of viewers, listeners or readers, actualizing in them experiences through which the aesthetic quality and value of each work of art can become directly perceptible to them and experienced and experienced through aesthetic experience.
