Among the many ways to teach aesthetic education, a compelling one is to organize pedagogy around specific works of art, music, drama, and dance. This has been the central tenet of the Lincoln Center Institute and its sister institutes around the world. They concentrate on specific works because it allows participants to focus their minds, emotions, and energies on one set of images and experiences. Excited by such an approach, many teachers return year after year, eager to tackle a new and varied repertory.
