1. goal: the main goal of art class is to cultivate and improve students' aesthetic ability, creativity and artistic skills, and the main goal of manual class is to improve students' practical ability and cultivate innovative thinking and practical skills.

2. Content: Art classes usually include painting, sculpture, printmaking, sketch, color and other courses, focusing on letting students understand and master various art forms and skills. Handicrafts focus more on making handicrafts (such as origami, paper-cutting, pottery, etc. ) to exercise hands-on ability, and can also be used to inspire students' innovative thinking and imagination.
