Application of Intangible Cultural Heritage Art Resources in Art Education of Primary and Secondary Schools

Abstract

The Intangible Cultural Heritage Law of the People's Republic of China explicitly states that educational institutions shall implement relevant intangible cultural heritage education by the provisions set forth by the competent education department under The State Council. Integrating intangible cultural heritage into art education is a crucial approach to safeguarding and preserving intangible cultural heritage. Schools serve as an optimal platform for inheriting and protecting the abundant intangible cultural heritage, with the compulsory education stage in primary and secondary schools offering unparalleled opportunities. Integrating local intangible cultural heritage into primary and secondary school art education and compiling art textbooks with local characteristics will help form a theoretical framework of curriculum design suitable for this purpose. As a result, they attained significant accomplishments regarding cultural transmission and spiritual heritage. However, there are still some things that could be improved with teaching staff, teaching material content, family and school social environment. It is imperative to conduct further research on optimizing the integration of resources into art education in primary and secondary schools. The investigation into effectively incorporating intangible cultural heritage art resources into art instruction in primary and secondary schools necessitates additional exploration.
