Sažetak
This paper explores the limitations of traditional approaches to art education through a biocultural lens, emphasizing the intersection of individual subjectivity and cultural influences. It critiques the conventional understanding of the aesthetic subject as autonomous, suggesting that such a view fails to account for the dynamic interaction among body, mind, and the changing world. Drawing on influential aesthetic theories and the Austrian national curriculum, the study highlights how theoretical frameworks shape educational policies and practices. Through qualitative research on “Aesthetic Practice and the Critical Faculty”, the paper exposes gaps in traditional pedagogy and proposes a phenomenologically grounded, biocultural alternative. This shift aims to offer a more holistic understanding of the aesthetic subject, enriching art education practices.
