ABSTRACT

We want to see not only a programme for the arts, but also a body of arts teachers who actively feel they form a unified community with a common purpose and a common aesthetic … we believe that the individual arts — literature, drama, dance, music, film and art — must be conceived as forming a single community in the curriculum. This does not necessarily mean that they should be integrated in their teaching, but that they should be understood as serving similar aesthetic processes and purposes. They all belong together under the category of the aesthetic.
