What is art education? Art education is a new type of education to improve personal quality and self-cultivation. With the development of the tertiary industry in China, art education has gradually occupied the main position of the education system. In addition to Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Fine Arts and other art colleges, there are authoritative training institutions such as Art Pioneer and Ji Shu, as well as art and culture education institutions in Yi Ming, Guangdong Province, which are constantly promoting the development of this industry. Art education is to improve people's feelings and understanding of beauty and cultivate artistic expression and creativity. Art education must carry out necessary technical training, not only to spread knowledge, feel and appreciate music, but to master certain skills. In contemporary society, "art education" has two different meanings and contents. In a narrow sense, "art education" can be understood as various theoretical and practical education to train artists or professional artistic talents, such as various professional art colleges, drama colleges to train screenwriters, directors and actors, and music colleges to train composers, singers and instrumentalists. Broadly speaking, "art education" is the core of aesthetic education, and its fundamental purpose is to cultivate all-round people, not professional artists. In contemporary society, people's lives are more or less related to art, such as reading novels, watching movies, listening to music and enjoying paintings. Therefore, art education in a broad sense emphasizes the popularization of the basic knowledge and principles of art, and through the appreciation and evaluation of excellent works of art, people's aesthetic cultivation and artistic appreciation ability are improved, and people's sound aesthetic psychological structure is cultivated. Wang Dengfeng, director of the Department of Sports Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education, revealed on April 6th, 20 16 that since 2006, nearly 80% of the students surveyed have received formal art classroom teaching in primary and secondary schools, 62% have participated in art clubs or interest groups in schools, and 33% have mastered certain artistic skills. The survey also shows that 67% of students have certain artistic appreciation ability. Wang Dengfeng also said that at present, there are 449 schools in China that inherit Chinese excellent culture and art, which has enhanced the feelings and understanding of Chinese excellent culture and art among primary and secondary school students. In 20 16, we will focus on promoting elegant art and opera into the campus, and do a good job in building schools and bases that inherit Chinese excellent traditional culture and art.
