Abstract

Essential spiritual nourishment is crucial for one’s psychological well-being. Art aesthetics serve not only as a medium for expressing personal emotions and thoughts but also as a channel for communication and dialogue between individuals and their social environments. Furthermore, art aesthetics are foundational in personality development and nurturing. This chapter examines the future directions of visual arts education for people with visual impairments and blindness in Taiwan and explores ways to foster a social environment conducive to inclusive learning.
