Abstract

In the current social context, teenagers are increasingly influenced by art. Art is not just an exam subject, but also an educational method that has an impact on students' lives and minds. This study is a conceptual research. This study explores the conceptual manifestation of the relative impact of art education on students from multiple perspectives, including the influence of art education on students' academic performance, the role of art education in cultivating students' unity and cooperation, the comprehensive impact of art education on college students' social skills, and the promotion of students' growth through art teaching. A conceptual framework was constructed based on these factors. This conceptual study explores the positive impact of arts education on students through a combination of external and internal factors, ultimately contributing to improving their aesthetic and cultural literacy.
