How to develop the art field of STEAM education?

Art is closely combined with STEM. The popularity of STEM education stems from the fact that the original STEM education only pays attention to the task itself, that is, what to do and how to do it, while ignoring the concern about people and the environmental background, that is, who will do it and why, and from the support of art to improve students' spatial ability and logical thinking ability.

STEAM education has realized the deep integration of art and science. On the one hand, it greatly improves students' interest and participation in learning science, and then improves students' learning effect. On the other hand, it greatly promotes the unity of science and art and realizes the dialogue between reason and sensibility.
