Justifying Aesthetic Judgements.
Ecker, David W.
Art Education, v50 n1 p21-25,84 Jan 1997
Reprint of the 1966 article as a representative example of thinking about art education during the 1960s. Reiterates the need for aesthetic judgement in art education and discusses those characteristics and approaches that render a judgement valid. Maintains that justification or an aesthetic opinion should be descriptive rather than explanatory. (MJP)
