- Abstract
As the reform on art curriculum standard for compulsory education continues in China, the proportion of such curriculum in elementary and secondary schools comprised of design education increases rapidly. As the key to design education, the concept of design literacy has attracted experts’ and scholars’ attention in the past ten years. However, there has been little research done on art education in secondary schools regarding the connotation of design literacy and the importance of teaching the skill. This research will review and discuss relevant documents about design literacy from China and other countries, then explore the concept of design literacy based on current grounded theory, while analyzing the importance of design literacy on art education in secondary schools. Research has found that design literacy plays an active role in cultivating middle school students’ basic abilities, enhancing critical thinking skills, and strengthening positive emotional attachments to the subject. Insights gained from this research will assist fine arts teachers to revise the current environments for art education or will offer guidelines and references for educators to establish meaningful secondary school art education curriculum in the future.
