Eight Lectures on Aesthetic Education by Degarmo 

The book "Eight Lectures on Aesthetic Education by Degamo" believes that children should acquire a preliminary aesthetic standards in school, and its importance is no less than cultivating children’s cognitive standards and moral standards. There are some problems with current aesthetic education in some aspects: first, only professionals participate in aesthetic education; second, aesthetic education only involves one aspect of the beauty of the world; third, current aesthetic education leads students to only explore beauty indirectly, such as discovering beauty only in pictures or paintings, rather than exploring beauty from things personally. If students want to acquire a preliminary aesthetic standards, f teachers and parents should acquire a correct aesthetic standards first. Therefore, this book makes a direct and non-technical analysis of the meaning and expression of beauty in nature and art. It also expounds on the ways and means of discovering beauty, involving not only painting and sculpture, but also nature, machinery, and art in life. It is believed that it will inspire parents and teachers who pay attention to children’s aesthetic education.
