DESCRIPTION:After the great success of the 1st conference\, we are excited
  to invite you to the 2nd Annual Conference on Aesthetic Development on No
 vember 20\, 2025\, at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics.Th
 e Conference is a highly interdisciplinary and seeks to understand aesthet
 ic development across different art forms. \nChildren naturally engage wi
 th the visual arts\, music\, dance\, theater\, and literature from an earl
 y age\, expressing themselves through aesthetic responses\, experiences\, 
 and creative productions. This raises important questions: Can we develop 
 a unified framework for understanding aesthetic development across differe
 nt art forms? Do various aesthetic domains follow similar developmental pa
 ths\, or do they rely on comparable principles? How do aesthetic responses
  and productions connect with broader social\, emotional\, and cognitive d
 evelopment?The conference will explore these and other questions related t
 o aesthetic development.\n\n\n\n\nAs part of the conference\, we are looki
 ng forward to inspiring keynotes by Julia F. Christensen (Max Planck Insti
 tute for Empirical Aesthetics)\, Rhett Dissner (online\; Lewis-Clark Stat
 e College\, Lewiston\, US)\, Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer (Eberhard Karls 
 University of Tübingen) and Daniel Müllensiefen (University Hamburg). \
 n\n\n\n\nResearchers from all disciplines are warmly invited to participat
 e.\nWe welcome submissions that address:\n\nEarly psychological precursors
  of aesthetic judgments and productions.\nDevelopmental trajectories of a
 esthetic appreciation and artistic creativity.\nThe role of social\, emot
 ional\, and cognitive development in shaping aesthetic responses and pro
 ductions.\nDifferences in aesthetic experiences and productions between c
 hildren and adults.\nComparative studies on aesthetic development across 
 different art forms.\nThe potential for a unified theory of aesthetic deve
 lopment or related organizing principles.\n\n\nhttps://indico.ae.mpg.de/ev
