INFLUENCE OF FOLK-ART EDUCATION ON MENTAL HEALTH OF COLLEGE STUDENTS
Abstract
Folk-art works offer a glimpse of the beauty of folk culture. Taking painting as an example, this paper attempts to determine the influence of folk-art education on the mental health of college students. First, a questionnaire survey was carried out among 160 college students to evaluate the mental pressure of college students and identify the status quo of folk-art education in colleges. Next, comparative experiments on college students with or without painting training. Through the analysis of the experimental results, it is concluded that mental problems are common among college students; most college students agree that folk-art education can alleviate mental pressure; painting art can significantly promote the self-consistence and mental health of college students. This research provides a reference for applying folk-art in mental health education in colleges.
