Comparing Aesthetic Experience in John Dewey’s Art as Experience to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Architecture

View through CrossRef
This is a study of aesthetic experience comparing concepts from John Dewey’s 1934 book Art as Experience to the art style of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture. Implications are discussed in this multiple case study of the Prairie style of architecture popularized by Wright in his residential building designs that also influenced the design of the Carl Schurz High School in Chicago, Illinois. The built environment may be experiential art because material culture, including architecture, are decorative arts that are experienced by people who visit or live in those buildings. Wright’s approach to the Prairie style in residential design is emphasized in this study with a comparison to Dewey’s aesthetics in Art as Experience as educational experience. Implications for aesthetics as educational experience are summarized.
