Art education refers to the education that helps students to know, learn and appreciate art in class and improve their artistic quality through art activities. In art education, teachers should not only impart knowledge, but also cultivate students' creative thinking and observation ability, encourage students to explore themes from life and create works of art with life flavor.

Art education can not only improve students' artistic accomplishment, but also cultivate their aesthetic ability, creativity and imagination. Through artistic activities, students can not only appreciate the beauty of art, but also improve their expression and communication skills through the creation and appreciation of artistic works. In addition, art education can also help students' comprehensive quality, including emotional, psychological, cognitive and social improvement.

At present, we still have many problems in art education. One of the main problems is the shortage of teachers, which leads to the low quality of art teaching in many schools. In addition, art education in many schools only stays at the level of imparting knowledge, lacking real "active" teaching. To solve this problem, we need to strengthen the construction of teachers, improve teachers' teaching level and innovation ability, and at the same time, we need to strengthen the cultivation of students' artistic literacy to provide students with richer and more dynamic educational experience.
