Abstract: Teaching students to appreciate the beauty of life in the world through aesthetic education, using a variety of teaching principles to extend their aesthetic experience, will promote “aesthetic intelligence” for children in Taiwan. This can enrich their aesthetic literacy, and give them a desire to perceive and appreciate beautiful things, allowing them to grow into world citizens. By reading, reviewing, analyzing and discussing related studies, this article explores the teaching principles of aesthetic education for children to cultivate children’s aesthetic literacy. This discussion can make Taiwan become a more aesthetically oriented lifeworld. The aspects of aesthetic education for children are as follows: (1) artistic teaching, (2) life-based teaching, (3) diversified teaching, (4) teaching through experience, (5) teaching by doing, (6) individual teaching, (7) imaginative teaching and (8) perceptual teaching.
