According to the latest catalogue of undergraduate enrollment majors issued by the Ministry of Education, there are four major development trends of art majors in colleges and universities: art (also known as pure art), design, drama and film, art theory and non-art majors with artistic attributes.

Among them, fine arts: sculpture (sculpture art, landscape sculpture, public art, ceramic art, etc. ), painting (such as traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, mural painting, comprehensive painting, watercolor painting, public art, illustration, lacquer painting, etc. ), art (art education, art education, market management, etc. ), calligraphy and photography.

Design category: art design, visual communication design, environmental design, product design, clothing and costume design, public art, arts and crafts, digital media art, art and technology, architecture (or architectural design);

Drama film and television science mainly includes: animation (two-dimensional animation, three-dimensional animation, film and television animation, animation design, animation art, computer animation, game design, animation planning, cartoon, animation director, digital animation and so on. ), drama, film and television art design;

Art theory: cultural relics identification and restoration, museum management, art theory and criticism, art management and auction, design theory and planning, cultural industry management, historical theory (art history theory, design history theory, etc.). ), etc.

Non-art majors with artistic attributes: advertising, fashion design and engineering, industrial design, exhibition art and technology, preschool education, art education, fashion design and technology education, decorative design and technology education, gem and material technology, packaging engineering, etc.

Generally speaking, there are many majors in design, and some majors in drama and film and television have only matured and become independent in recent years. Faced with severe employment pressure, most pure art majors can't show their advantages. The majors of drama, film and television (animation, drama, film and television art design) and digital media art have become the new favorites of employment because they keep up with the development of some social mainstream such as network and information technology.
