In this thesis, I aimed to establish a viewpoint as to art education that reconsiders the educational methods concerning art appreciation by reevaluating Herbert Read's art education philosophy. I analyzed his views by comparing his Education through Art with Education through Art: Restatement. As a result, I discovered his emphasis on the activity of "seeing", his viewpoint on "expression and appreciation". A viewpoint that goes beyond the "expression vs. appreciation" debate on today's education of art appreciation may be hiding behind Read's art education philosophy.
