The Position and Role of Artistic Literacy in Undergraduate Elementary Education Major

Abstract

Artistic literacy is one of the key components of implementing quality education in schools, and art education serves as the primary pathway to improve the artistic literacy of undergraduate elementary school teachers. The core objective of art education is to cultivate aesthetic creativity. Currently, the state of art education in rural primary schools in the western regions of China varies. As a specialized undergraduate major in elementary education aimed at nurturing new teaching professionals, it is important to determine the goals of artistic literacy and emphasize the position and role of art education in fostering students’ comprehensive abilities and qualities. This study focuses on the positioning of artistic literacy in undergraduate elementary education majors and explores the desired artistic literacy for students.
