ARROYABE, Luisa Amigo Fernández de. Beneficios de la experiencia de ocio Estético. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp. 397-432. ISSN 1518-6148.

This article deals with the benefits provided by the experience of aesthetic leisure. It starts from the capacity of works of art to communicate values and to develop them in the audience. Although placed in an aesthetic horizon, works of art are able to contribute also to other fields of human growth. This article points out some values of the experience of aesthetic leisure in the formation of mind and the understanding of reality and of the other. The experience of aesthetic leisure provides us with a new way of seeing that has a discovering function. Works of art collaborate in our education, transforming and deepening our gaze, modifying our perspective and placing ourselves in the point of view of the others. Art discovers and anticipates reality, contrasting behaviours, attitudes and values. Its images are a realm of knowledge and communication and invite us to look deeply into the world, questioning ourselves about reality. The artist creates a form and invites us to share it and, thus, to enriche our experience. The artist shows images of life, which are taken from the existential categories that constitute humanity. His or her imaginary construction engages in a way of talking about the human being that throws light on our reality and places it in a comprehension horizon shared by all.Beyond the ludic dimension, the aesthetic experience of leisure belongs to a creative dimension that is valuable for our personal development.
