Artistic image is a special form in which art reflects life. The so-called visualization means that any works of art should have vivid and concrete artistic images and have certain ornamental value.

Plekhanov once said that art "expresses people's feelings and their thoughts, but it is not an abstract expression, but a vivid image." . This is the most important feature of art. "

The images created by each specific art category have their own different characteristics, such as painting, sculpture, photography and calligraphy to create visual images, music to create auditory images, drama, film and television to create comprehensive images, and language art to create literary images that cannot be directly felt. But in any case, visualization is indispensable for any kind of art and is the basic feature of artistic beauty.

2. Subjectivity

Another basic feature of artistic beauty is subjectivity. As mentioned above, art, as a special social ideology, and artistic production, as a special spiritual production, determine that artistic beauty must have the characteristics of subjectivity. There is no doubt that artistic beauty comes from and reflects real life.

But this kind of reflection is by no means a simple "imitation" or "reappearance", but it is integrated into the thoughts and feelings of the creative subject and even the appreciation subject, which reflects very distinct creativity and innovation. Therefore, subjectivity, as one of the basic characteristics of artistic beauty, is not only reflected in artistic creation, but also in artistic appreciation.

The Connotation of Art Education

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. The narrow sense of "art education" can be understood as various theoretical and practical education for cultivating artists or professional artistic talents;

For example, all kinds of professional art colleges are like this. Drama Academy trains screenwriters, directors and actors, while Conservatory of Music trains 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.
