Features: Based on summarizing teaching experiences in aesthetic education, this book proposes the new concept of "aesthetic art" at the appropriate time. It advocates that art courses in general universities should examine art education from the perspective of aesthetics and elevate art education to the level of aesthetics, striving to achieve the fusion and unity of "aesthetic" and "art." This enables students to grasp the laws of aesthetics through artistic aesthetic practice and achieve twice the result with half the effort. The book is divided into four chapters to outline beauty and aesthetics, as well as aesthetic categories and aesthetic schools, providing readers with fundamental theories and basic knowledge of aesthetics. Additionally, six chapters focus on the creation of artistic beauty and aesthetic issues. Beyond a dedicated chapter on the essence and characteristics of artistic creation, the remaining five chapters elaborate on the aesthetic features of five art types—such as "utility," "form," "expression," "language," and "synthesis"—along with aesthetic knowledge of various art styles. The book maintains a certain level of aesthetic theory while offering rich information on artistic aesthetics. Its main purpose is clear, and its features are distinct. The insights are pertinent, the structure is coherent, and the language is concise and lucid. It truly achieves accessibility, making it suitable as a foundational textbook for aesthetic art education in colleges and universities, as well as a basic reading material for contemporary young people to enrich their aesthetic cultivation and enhance their aesthetic abilities.
