Art education contains beauty. In art education, we should not only pay attention to imparting knowledge, but also pay attention to cultivating students' ability. The new curriculum standard of primary school art education points out that primary school art class is a compulsory art education course in the primary stage of compulsory education. It is an important way of aesthetic education for students and plays an important role in cultivating sentiment, enlightening wisdom and promoting students' all-round development. This makes clear the importance of art education in primary schools, that is, its role in quality education. Specific performance in the following aspects:

First of all, primary school art education and teaching can improve students' interest in learning.

According to children's own physiological characteristics, most children like painting and collage. They can have new feelings after observing the world around them and try their imaginations. Whether a painting is good or not is a kind of self-expression. Only when children's self-expression requirements are met can their emotions and wisdom be truly balanced. In addition, students urge themselves to study Chinese, mathematics and other courses because of their interest in art. In the past, art classes were regarded as minor subjects, and only Chinese and mathematics were boring and repeated every day. Students can adjust and cultivate their interests through art classes. If the forms of art classes are diversified, students will change passive learning into active learning, and their academic performance will not only keep up, but also their interest in learning will gradually increase.

Secondly, primary school art education and teaching can develop students' intelligence.

First, curiosity is a major feature of children. Many students will be interested in the surroundings consciously or unconsciously after studying art class, so they will observe everything around them more carefully and deeply. Only by constant observation can we get updated content. These new contents take root in the minds of young people and lay the foundation for future development. In this way, the child's observation ability will continue to improve and develop. Through the guidance of teachers, students become interested in the things around them, and take the initiative to observe and understand and sketch. When students think things are so beautiful, they will keep these beautiful impressions in their hearts. In the composition class, some students will bring what they observed in the art class to the class and describe it in words, thus improving their writing ability, enhancing their interest in observation and cultivating their observation ability.

Second, cultivate students' rich imagination.

When students finish a work, they will consciously or unconsciously pay attention to the performance object and remember it. The more you observe, the richer your memory will be. In this way, you will randomly combine those irrelevant contents and add some details. Over time, their imagination will be more abundant, and children's personality thoughts will be reflected in their works.

Third, develop students' positive thinking and creativity.

Fourth, cultivate students' aesthetic taste and cultivate students' ideological sentiment.

Art is an activity that expresses beauty, and if it is not beautiful, it will not achieve its goal. To express beauty, we must look for beauty in nature and find beauty. In the process of understanding beauty, beauty will naturally penetrate into your heart. In addition, it is clearly pointed out in the new curriculum standard of primary school art education that art class has aesthetic function, and the process of art education is an aesthetic activity, in order to improve students' sensitivity, judgment, imagination and creativity to beauty, stimulate students' desire to love and express beauty, enhance students' national pride and patriotism, and cultivate students' good quality of loving life and nature. For example, in the appreciation class, students not only learn about China's various paintings, but also understand the historical background of some famous painters and works in China from ancient times to the present, the characteristics of each painting and the excellent works of these painters, so that students can have reverence for these painters, learn their excellent qualities and have a strong interest in China culture.

Fifth, primary school art education and teaching can develop students' whole-hearted coordination ability.

In the process of the formation of artistic works, the abilities of observation, memory, imagination and understanding do not appear in isolation, but only when the eyes, brain, hands and body cooperate with each other and concentrate. In other words, art teaching is a practical course for students.
