To cultivate students' innovative consciousness in art education, we should first pay attention to protecting students' individuality and giving them the freedom to play their individuality. Disappearing students' personality, with thousands of people on one side, is a taboo in creative activities. Students should be encouraged to express boldly on the basis of personality and express their unique views on other people's works of art. In terms of thinking mode, we should pay attention to divergent thinking, analogical thinking and imaginative thinking, which are closely related to creativity. In addition, we should try our best to design some specific procedures and methods to cultivate students' innovative consciousness and creativity.
