China's ancient educator Confucius attached great importance to aesthetic education, and put forward the theory that people should be "raised in poetry, set up in rituals, and become a man of music", that is to say, not only do we need to cultivate people to learn all aspects of knowledge, but also to learn the code of conduct and to be tempered by the arts. Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty said very clearly about the role of aesthetic education in painting: "Painting is a way to educate people, help them in their theories, to understand the subtle changes in the gods, and the same work as the six books." Modern educator Cai Yuanpei attaches more importance to aesthetic education, that aesthetic education is an important part of education, the lack of aesthetic education is incomplete education. He believes that the lack of aesthetic education, especially the lack of art education is pedantic, rigid, lack of creativity, more lack of emotion and vitality.

China's ten-year "___" during the turmoil, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, the destruction of cultural relics, trampling on art. Although this tragedy of the times has become history, however, we must also face such a reality: there are still many people believe that traditional Chinese painting is less colorful, Dunhuang and Yongle Palace mural color is old, not as good as to appreciate the month of the card yearbook or the star beauty; impressionist painting is a mess, not as good as the stalls of the rubbing of the image of the good-looking. This can not help but show that people's aesthetic interest in high and low elegant and vulgar points, noble and inferior difference. People's aesthetic interest and aesthetic judgment is inseparable from cultural cultivation, aesthetic feeling belongs to the highest spiritual feeling. Marx once said: "you want to get the enjoyment of art, you yourself must be a person with artistic cultivation." Aesthetic education through the beauty of art is one of the most simple and effective method, because the image of beauty is concrete and vivid, often make people receive profound education.

There are many kinds of artistic beauty, which respectively express the beauty of reality with the help of color, line, shape, sound and other basic elements of formal beauty and its formal laws of beauty in space and time arrangement and combination of features. It is the artist according to the real beauty of the prototype and material, after artistic processing and created, it is the reflection of the real beauty.

Even the beauty of natural objects, in fact, is also what the ancients called the "edge of the object to send feelings" of beauty. It will often make people have emotional infection. For example, the beautiful Li River, the majestic Mount Hua, the beautiful Emei Mountain, because they are all part of the magnificent mountains and rivers of the great motherland, with the people's human history is closely related to the Chinese people's historical and humanistic landscapes. So when people visit these beautiful scenery, they can not help but marvel: ah! The motherland is beautiful! Patriotic feelings arise.

For example, the knowledge of points, lines and surfaces should enable students to understand the emotional meaning of points, lines and surfaces as well as their representational significance in modeling and painting. The mastery of this knowledge is the basis for the development of students' drawing ability. It also develops the ability to think logically, and at the same time increases the ability to think figuratively. It is important to know that "the ability to think in images" is an indispensable aspect of the "comprehensive quality" of human beings.
