Abstract: This research aims to shed light on the impact of aesthetical awareness of art instructors who work in the higher education and their qualifications in art education and aesthetic perceptions. Therefore six art educators from different higher education  took part in this study and a qualitative method for data analysis has been used.  A series of semi-constructed questionnaire items have been formed and interviews have been conducted with 6 art educators in order to find out their aesthetic perceptions’ levels in art education.

The results indicate that art teachers have a relatively high level of aesthetic perception and qualification. It has been emphasized that theoretical lessons in art could encourage students’ aesthetic perceptions and consciousness about art and creativity. There by learners’ cognitive developments about art not only improve creativity but also prepare them to be good citizens in the society. By having  a high level of the perception, the art instructors has also a positive effect on the achievement level of the students.  Additionally, the perception level of aesthetic can be directly related with the quality of the art education programmes of instructors as well. In conclusion, the level  of aesthetic qualifications not only helps to raise students’ achievement by creating a product of artwork or a masterpiece but also raises the performance levels of learners by rewiring the brain in positive ways in terms of training in art.
