Boniteza, the aesthetic experience in art and education. Advances and scientific arguments from the neurohumanities

This article develops the concept of boniteza, inspired by the theories of the great intellectual Paulo Freire, to argue how the aesthetic experience is produced in art and education. Boniteza is the beauty of the things we see, observe and feel, but from a profound relationship between its ethics and aesthetics. In an attempt to demonstrate this relationship, an analysis was made of the aesthetic experience present in contemporary art and in everyday objects and how it interferes with people's cognition. To justify this thesis, a scoping review methodology is developed to expose the advances from neuroaesthetics. Several scientific studies were analysed and selected that explain, significantly, how aesthetic experiences are produced from the visual arts, performance, painting, music or photography, among other disciplines. In conclusion, a new scientific field in art education is opened to explore new lines of research on the aesthetic experience from the neurohumanities.
