A critique of the ecological art research in China

Abstract

Ecological art represents a novel artistic genre that melds the realms of creative expression with environmental conservation, reflecting the contemporary art world’s focus and allure towards the natural environment. Nowadays, scholarly inquiry into ecological art within China is predominantly categorized into four domains: educational practices in ecological art, aesthetics in ecological art, the innovation and utilization of ecological art forms, and interdisciplinary studies within ecological art. Within these areas, research in ecological art education accentuates the pedagogical approaches to artistic innovation and education.
