With China’s economic boom in the21st century, education reforms are pushed further forward.Education being the primary concern for our country’s development, its system should be reformed first.Specifically, there are still some problems in our fine art education system of high school level, despite itsincreasingly good development, for instance, a sole reliance on the teaching of fine art theories and itsresultant lack of aesthetic quality on the part of students, hence, the appearance of fine art talent classes insome prestigious high schools across the country. With the enrollment expansion of fine art colleges andacademies in recent years, some high school students, not talented in fine art originally, decide to follow thetrend and enroll them in the art matriculation test, but this may harm the regular fine art teaching at highschool level, which is critical to the overall development of fine art education at high school and collegelevel.In recent years, high school talent classes of fine art in Xinxiang, both on and off campus, have beenexpanding in terms of scale, and their success and failure is gaining attention. This study takes fine artmatriculation test as its object, focusing on fine art teaching and training that point to fine art matriculationtest on the provincial level and similar tests given by concerned colleges of fine art. To achieve theintegration of high school fine art education with its college-level counterpart, it is necessary to improve theformer in terms of its teaching content, form, method, and course design, and it is also important to carryout the “theory-based and skill-featured” teaching theory of fine art.
