Abstract

High school art education is not only the core carrier of aesthetic education, but also an important part of quality education. At present, although China's high school art education has achieved a 96.8% national class opening rate (data source: the Ministry of Education's 2023 national report on the development of school art education), it still faces prominent problems such as uneven resource distribution, unbalanced teacher allocation, and rigid teaching models. As a key force in coordinating education reform, educational leadership has a direct impact on the quality of art education in terms of policy implementation, curriculum construction, resource integration and other aspects. Based on the public statistics of the Ministry of Education and the practice cases of art education in many high schools, this paper analyzes the current difficulties in the development of art education in high schools from the perspective of educational leadership, and proposes multiple paths of curriculum innovation, teacher empowerment, resource integration, evaluation reform, and digital-intelligence integration, so as to provide practical solutions for promoting the high-quality development of art education in high schools and help achieve the core goal of "educating people with aesthetics and culture".
