Describing Aesthetic Experience: Creating a Model.
Weltzl Fairchild, Andrea
Canadian Journal of Education, v16 n3 p267-80 Sum 1991
Transcripts of the spontaneous remarks of adult visitors to a fine arts museum were analyzed according to four models of aesthetic experience. An expanded alternative model is proposed that incorporates some features from each model to better describe how visitors respond to the aesthetic experience. (SLD)
