Broudy’s promise that life will be enhanced if, through education, one’s tastes can be altered to approach the tastes of the connoisseur, formed the rationale for aesthetic education, and placed arts appreciation at the centre, as a means to aesthetic literacy. He maintained that the disciplines of arts education consist of a body of knowledge based on expertise and scholarship, beyond exposure and self-expression. The education of the imagination meant that students acquire images of art that function as associative and interpretive resources, supplying contexts that broaden and deepen comprehension. The arts should fill a role similar to the humanities—teaching values, enhancing beauty, reducing ugliness and hates. This implied that the arts adopt goals of general education rather than specific arts education goals.
