Aesthetic Development
Children are born with a sense of wonder. Their aesthetic sense develops through:
• Sensory experiences
• Exposure to their own cultural styles
• Experiences with other aesthetic styles
• Messages from the media
• Adult and peer reactions to arts performances

What Is Sensory Perception? (continued)
Infants are born ready to learn through their senses and make meaning of those interactions from interacting with others.
![Page 11: Awakening the Senses “It was the most imaginative, rich childhood you could ever want. That’s why I have so much inside me that I want to paint.” —Andrew](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f215503460f94c39667/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sensory integration is the processing of information gathered by the senses.
Sensory integration dysfunction (SID) is being over- or under-sensitive to touch, movement, sights, and sounds.

Additional Senses (Montessori)
• Chromatic- Montessori views this as a subset of the broader sense of vision. It involved the ability to identify, match, and discriminate among colors.
• Thermic- deals with the
perception of temperature.
This wooden box with compartments holds 8 stainless steel bottle with screw-on tops.The teacher prepares the exercise by filling the bottles with water of various temperature. The exercise of pairing and grading the thermic bottles helps refine the thermic senses.

Additional Senses (Montessori)
• Baric- Recognizing objects as heavy or light The Baric Tablets introduce and
refine the concept of the baric sense. While blindfolded, the child endeavors to discern the weight of the tablets of wood. Error is controlled by the color of the wooden tablets, the lightest color wood being the lightest weight to the darkest color wood being the heaviest weight. The set consists of a box with 7 light-weight tablets, a box with 7 medium-weight tablets and a box with 7 heavy-weight tablets.
