Questions such as "Is it art?," "How is it Art?," and "Why is is art?" often arise when individuals investigate art objects. Such questions fall into the realm of aesthetics--the branch of philosophy that concerns itself with the nature of art. Because these types of big questions require meditative contemplation and reasoned responses, aesthetics and aesthetic inquiry can lead to deeper thinking and better understanding in art. Taking aesthetics or aesthetic inquiry into the art classroom provides rich opportunities for students of all ages to observe art objects and to thoughtfully communicate personal and global perspectives about art. In this article, the author provides ideas on how to introduce aesthetic inquiry into the classroom.
