People's Daily Online, Beijing, May 24th Recently, the "Media Visit" activity of school culture construction in Chaoyang District, Beijing, came to the Experimental School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The reporter not only visited the student apartments, the intangible cultural heritage exhibition corridor, and experienced the special courses of the school's various societies, but also conducted in-depth interviews on the school's educational characteristics and campus culture.

"The theme of school culture construction is 'culture of beauty', that is, the spiritual culture of 'advocating beauty', the behavioral culture of 'creating beauty', the institutional culture of 'recognizing beauty', and the material culture of 'enjoying beauty'. These cultures form a complete system that complements each other, and the internal components fit together organically, thereby realizing the 'culture-based culture' "People's realm and goals." Jiang Yuan, principal of the Experimental School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said that the school organically integrates cultural construction with school-running characteristics, organically combines the school's physical environment and humanistic environment, so that teachers and students can fully realize the development momentum that attaching importance to cultural construction brings to the school's distinctive school-running.

It is reported that the primary and secondary schools of the Experimental School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts offer more than 50 clubs and school-based courses in art, sports, science and technology, and other areas. The school allows students to gain something and develop through a wealth of club activities. The reporter also visited creative classes, rubber stamping, paper-cutting, costume design, student choir, portrait sculpture, jazz dance club and other clubs to experience the school's special courses.

In the creative class, students work in groups of four and are creating works using materials such as light clay, straws, and wool. "The creative class can cultivate children's creative thinking and hands-on ability. Teachers have no rigid indicators when evaluating works and do not limit children's imagination." Zhao Ning, a teacher at the Experimental School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said in an interview with reporters.

Walking into the clothing club, the reporter saw several students modifying paper art series sets. One of the students said in an interview with a reporter: "We chose to make costumes from the Pre-Qin period because we are all interested in Pre-Qin culture. We searched a lot of relevant information on the Internet and incorporated elements of Pre-Qin culture into costume production." It is understood that this series of suits with the theme of "Pre-Qin Heritage" has won the first prize for the final team of Beijing's second technical and creative design (TID) paper art costume show "Walking Intangible Cultural Heritage" for primary and secondary schools. The students modified the costumes in preparation for the next competition.

In the club class, the reporter and the students experienced pottery making, paper-cutting, and Chinese ink painting together, and moved to the rhythm of jazz music. The vivid classroom and students' conscious and engaged learning status left a deep impression on the reporter.
