From "Art Is Experience" to "Culture Is Creativity": The Reform of Public Aesthetic Education in Digital Society

Abstract

As human society has entered digital society from former industrial and industrial society, a series of changes have taken place in public aesthetic education from "art is experience" to "culture is creativity": the goal changed from "cultivating personality" to "cultivating creativity"; the content expanded from artistic cultivation to cultural creativity; the object changed from mass to public; the implementation path changed from artistic experience under classroom organization to cultural creativity under industrialized organization. This reform is not subversive, but continuous. It has intensified basic function of aesthetic education and reshaped the relationship between aesthetic educational activities and aesthetic educational objects and the government. However, the protection of intellectual property rights for cultural creativity and the "degree" of creativity need special attention.
