Research on the Cultivation of Aesthetics among Art Students under the New Era Background

Through understanding the history and current situation of aesthetic education in China, this paper explains some misunderstandings in the aesthetics of contemporary university art students, such as the insufficiency of aesthetic value and ability, as well as the inadequacy of students’ creativity due to traditional art education. It is also pointed out that the cultivation of core literacy of art students is a multidimensional and comprehensive process, and these problems need to be solved by schools, teachers, and students, so as to strengthen the inner aesthetic education of students and improve their aesthetic awareness and ability. Aesthetic education is not only an important part of the art classroom but also a key part of fostering students’ all-round development and enhancing their humanistic literacy. It is necessary to cultivate students’ observation, imagination, image-thinking ability, and creativity, so that they can become artistic talents with independent thinking and innovation.
