1. Art education is a new type of education to improve personal quality and self-cultivation.

2. 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.
