Features: Art activities are an important part of social activities and a unique phenomenon of human life. Art is the product formed and created by humans in long-term production and social activities. It is an aesthetic form that people use certain material forms and emotions as mediators to express social life or the ideological and emotional sentiments of artists to meet their own aesthetic needs. Art activities are the crystallization of social aesthetic consciousness and spiritual cultural creation, and a special form for humans to grasp the aesthetic relationship with the objective world and achieve mastery over the world. Only humans can create art, and only humans can appreciate art. Theoretical research in art studies should be guided by the teaching principles and artistic principles of Marxism to systematically and comprehensively explain the basic laws of art activities and establish a progressive and scientific artistic viewpoint. A person's artistic viewpoint is an important part of their worldview. Only under the guidance of a progressive and scientific worldview can one gradually form and establish scientific artistic thoughts, artistic value concepts, and corresponding artistic methods.
