“…All of the critical periods in the past, and partly also in the present, see the escape from the dominance of rationalism in emphasizing the importance of aesthetic and artistic education; at the point when the child's or young person's development of integrity becomes unbalanced, this education is seen as the "last resort" in the reestablishment of harmony among the individual areas of the child's personality. Numerous authors of pedagogical concepts concerning aesthetic education (Read, 1945;Wojnar, 1978;Otto, 1974;Mollenhauer, 1996) also emphasize that the importance of the child's aesthetic development has been neglected for much too long in the planning, realization and evaluation of the educational process.

Every child needs planned, aesthetic education in order to influence the experiencing, feeling and enjoying of beautiful things as a counterbalance to our currently rationalized world. Since the contemporary school strives for the development of professional knowledge and skills on the basis of intellectual actions, while (at the same time) neglecting other dimensions of the child's personality (emotions, feelings, etc.), it is one of the most important tasks of the education of children and young people to develop the ability to enjoy art and beauty, and in one's inner and outer life to act in accordance with a sense of proportion, harmony and beauty. The purpose of the article is to highlight the significance of aesthetic education in the development of the personality as a whole, to shed light on the aims of aesthetic education, to define the aesthetic dimension of experience and to ascertain the reasons for the neglect of aesthetic education in theory and practice.

The article outlines the views of the forerunners of the Polish theory of aesthetic education: Janina Mortkowiczowa (1875-1960), Stefan Szuman (1889-1972), Stanisław Ossowski (1897-1963) and Bogdan Suchodolski (1903-1992). The juxtaposition of opinions on the role of art in education with elements of precursors' biographies enables a deeper understanding of these opinions. The research approach adopted also shows the evolution of thought and the process of shaping the Polish theory of aesthetic education over the course of the twentieth century.
