The essence of art education lies in cultivating students' aesthetic sensibility

creativity

and expressive capabilities. Within formal schooling

its educational function extends beyond imparting knowledge and skills; it facilitates holistic growth in students' mental

emotional

and spiritual dimensions. Art education is recognized for its unique capacity to foster more comprehensive human development. To meet contemporary demands

modern education must cultivate citizens with sound aesthetic judgment and artistic literacy

equipping them to address future societal challenges. In this process

educational assessment should not be confined solely to evaluating knowledge and skills but must also encompass students' aesthetic awareness

innovative capacity

and attitudes towards art.
