In the present, China emphasizes in taking traditional arts to integrate with modern education, this study is therefore to investigate the impact of taking Guizhou Miao traditional embroidery to apply with the product design curriculum at Guizhou Qiannan College of Science and Technology in order to enhance design skills of students, their cultural appreciation, and integrate knowledge in traditional craftsmanship with modern design practicing. The sample group comprises 122 students selected using systematic sampling and 10 design instructors and Miao embroidery artisans. The research method employs a mixed-methods approach, combining descriptive statistical analysis for quantitative data and thematic content analysis for qualitative insights. The study found that engaging students with Miao embroidery significantly improved their technical precision, compositional balance, and color harmony. Additionally, it fostered a deeper understanding of cultural symbols and heritage, stimulating creativity and active participation. These findings emphasize the value of integrating traditional arts into modern curricula to cultivate innovative designers with cultural sensitivity. Recommendations include expanding workshops, fostering interdisciplinary projects, and enhancing collaborations with cultural practitioners to further enrich design education.

With the development of China's economy and the increasing demand for talents in the design industry, the importance of design education at the undergraduate level for career goals after graduation has become increasingly prominent. This master project objective is to study and analyze the current situation of design education at a case of Guizhou Qiannan College of Science and Technology for proposing the improvement of teaching methods. Through SWOT analysis, questionnaires and interviews, analyze the feedback from students and teachers on the current teaching status and put forward suggestions for optimizing design courses and teaching models from 283 students in the design major by systematic random sampling and 10 design teachers in School of Design at Guizhou Qiannan College of Science and Technology. Content analysis use for qualitative data and descriptive statistical analysis for quantitative data. The research found in 2 terms: 1) Curriculum: the proportion of theory and practice is seriously imbalanced, theoretical course content covers basic concepts and techniques of design, students lack sufficient hands-on opportunities and out of touch with industry development trends. 2) Teaching resources: are underutilized, the professional level of teachers is uneven, and the teaching model lacks diversity which affects the cultivation of design students’ talents in creativity, innovation ability, the practical ability and social responsibility. The design education improvement are as follow: reform the curriculum, teaching methods, resource allocation optimization, teacher training, cultivate design talents with innovative ability and social responsibility through school-enterprise cooperation and integration of industry and education.

This study explores the integration of mythical creatures from Shan Hai Jing in animation education to enhance students' cultural understanding and creative skills. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations to assess the impact of these mythical elements on students' cultural interest, character design skills, and creative expression. The course design involved three stages: cultural background instruction, character design, and animation production, gradually guiding students to understand and create works infused with cultural significance. Results showed that after integrating Shan Hai Jing elements, students demonstrated a marked increase in interest in traditional culture and exhibited enhanced creativity and cultural identity in their projects. The study indicates that combining cultural content with technical instruction helps students not only master animation skills but also strengthens their cultural identity and creative expression. This educational model offers a reference for integrating traditional cultural content into technical courses, demonstrating that animation education can facilitate both the preservation and innovation of traditional culture in modern creative practices.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the continuous innovation of educational concepts and the rapid development of technology have prompted traditional teaching models to shift towards more diversified, interactive, and interesting directions. As an emerging teaching model, gamified teaching method has been widely applied in various subjects, especially in primary school art classes, due to its ability to effectively stimulate students' interest in learning, enhance their learning initiative and creativity. However, in the actual promotion and implementation process, gamified teaching methods also face a series of challenges and problems, especially in rural primary schools, where the promotion of gamified teaching is particularly difficult due to limited resources, teachers' insufficient understanding of new teaching models, and traditional parental attitudes. This study takes the senior art class of Wuhai Third Primary School as an example to explore in depth the design and implementation of gamified teaching and its impact on students' learning interest and motivation. The aim is to provide practical and feasible improvement plans for art teaching in rural primary schools, promote innovation in art curriculum and teaching methods, and provide useful references for the professional growth and collaboration of new and old teachers.
