1. Cultivate fine arts talents
The object of art education is some students who are interested in art and related industries. The goal of art education is to let them learn professional skills and creativity. According to the teaching plan of art education in colleges and universities promulgated by the Ministry of Culture, the purpose of art education in colleges and universities is to train senior professionals who can work in art education departments and cultural and artistic units in the future.
2. Improve students' cultural literacy in an all-round way
Art education can help students improve their cultural quality and enable them to inherit art. People's pursuit of beauty has a long history, and the concept of beauty has existed since ancient times. The concept and significance of art are gradually formed with the continuous development of human civilization. In the process of art education and teaching, teachers need to guide students to master artistic and cultural knowledge with strict teaching attitude, create a good artistic atmosphere for students, let students form their own aesthetic standards through continuous learning, express their feelings through creating visual images, and learn communication skills with others.
Second, the main characteristics of art teaching
1. Different teaching groups adopt different teaching modes.
In the process of art teaching, teachers need to adopt different teaching modes according to different students. Teachers can group students according to their age or professional nature. For younger students, teachers should pay attention to cultivating students' interest in art when conducting art education. This is because the young students are still immature, and they have more autonomy in art study. To cultivate their interest, teachers can drive them to learn art knowledge independently, which requires teachers to pay attention to the teaching methods used in the teaching process. Teachers can use multimedia technology to create situations for students in class, and guide students into artistic situations by playing music, videos or images. Younger students' imagination is very rich, which helps them to enter the artistic situation created by teachers more easily, thus deepening their interest in art learning and understanding of related art works. Teachers can also divide students according to whether they study art professionally or amateur, and adopt different teaching contents and methods according to their different needs. For students majoring in fine arts, teachers can focus on cultivating their creative ability; For non-professional students, teachers should attach importance to their basic study of art and cultivate their aesthetic ability by analyzing some art works to achieve the purpose of art teaching.
2. Diversity of teaching modes
Art is a practical subject, and students need to master the theoretical knowledge they want to learn through practice, so teachers need to use different teaching modes in the process of art teaching. When teaching theoretical knowledge, teachers can stimulate students' vision and hearing through videos or music, which can not only enable students to master the theoretical knowledge of art, but also cultivate students' ability to observe and recognize art. Teachers can also organize extracurricular activities in the teaching process, such as organizing students to visit museums and art galleries, so as to cultivate students' aesthetic ability in the process of appreciating masters' works. This teaching method can change the boring classroom teaching in the past, and it is easier for students to understand and master art knowledge in this environment and atmosphere. The art teaching mode in some colleges and universities is relatively simple, and teachers blindly teach students according to the content required by the syllabus, ignoring whether students really master the knowledge, content and skills of related courses in the teaching process. In order to improve the inherent teaching mode and pay attention to students' learning situation, most colleges and universities adopt the method of stage assessment to test students' learning situation.
Third, the development of art education.
Facing the development of art education in China, people need to pay more attention to the concept of art education and the understanding and cognition of art education in society. The development of economy promotes the progress of science and technology, promotes the development of audio-visual technology, and makes images more elaborate and superb, which leads to the decrease of people's attention to art to some extent; The development of digital copying and other technologies has also led to the gradual loss of artistic creation advantages. People choose digital technology which can reduce the cost and enhance the publicity effect, ignoring the traditional artistic creation, resulting in a decrease in the demand for artistic creation. The development direction of art education needs to be analyzed from the perspective of Chinese and western arts. Compared with traditional painting skills, some western countries often pay more attention to conceptual art in art teaching. Conceptual art can make students create more freely, and the diversification of expression forms can make artistic creation more free. With the continuous development of science and technology and economy in China, China's higher art education is also in a state of positive development, but it needs to be constantly improved and improved in the process of development. With the educational reform, the purpose of art education has changed, and the art teaching mode needs to change accordingly. China traditional painting is playing an increasingly important role in the international art field. Art colleges need to focus on traditional art teaching, at the same time, improve students' understanding of painting such as oil painting, set clear learning goals and improve students' creative ability. In order to change the concept of art education, it needs constant reform and progress in the changes of the times.
