 In his two early essays on “Artistic Handiwork in Education” (1887), Bosanquet argued for some form of handicraft work being introduced into elementary and secondary education. This, Bosanquet wrote, can contribute to the awakening, the enjoyment, and the appreciation of beauty in nature and in art. Handicraft that has a distinctively artistic character requires not only exertion through the exercise of active apprehension, but also “seeing deeply” into nature. Moreover, the study of works of art provides a key to understanding both the culture and character of other nations but also universal human values.
