Abstract
The arts, beauty, museums and aesthetics are beneficial as textual stimulant in literature, memory, cognition, and wonderment in the growth and development of gifted, and talented children. This paper will focus on how and why beauty and aesthetics enhance learning, as well as personal growth and development. The encouragement of feelings and emotions lends to the development of the entire child, as well as to the development of curiosity, wonder and enchantment. This paper will call upon the foundational work of Pestalozzi, Comstock, Carson, and Milne’s advocacy for wonderment and sensory leaning as well as the work of Aesthetics education advocates Harry Broudy and more recently Bruce Uhrmacher and Wilfred McClay. Artifacts and exemplars will be provided as well as current research into museum education.
