Abstract
This chapter uses content analysis to grasp the structure and characteristics of visual arts standards and their style of development in Chinese cultural contexts. The recent developments in art education in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Macao are explained and discussed. The basis for the evolution and shaping of art education in these countries and regions has continually changed, and so the standards, aims, and goals of art education have been revised. Although across time there have been various foci, learning the nature and discipline of art has always been at the core of content in these contexts, but each has a different focus in how art is applied. Taiwan highlights the concept that art is for everyone and is necessary to attain initiative, interactivity, and the common good. China emphasizes national identity and cultural heritage. Hong Kong focuses on knowledge, generic skills, values, and attitudes. Macao targets artistic potential, creativity, life quality, personality, and attainments. Overall, promoting the development of the whole person is the major concern in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Macao.
