With the accelerated pace of life in modern society, people face increased psychological pressure, leading to a gradual increase in the incidence of psychological disorders such as anxiety. In recent years, the fusion of traditional culture and modern pottery design has shown a unique charm in aesthetic education. Subjects and Methods.200 subjects who had been diagnosed with anxiety disorders were selected.
The experimental group received an aesthetic education course on integrating traditional culture into modern ceramic design, which lasted for three months, twice a week, for two hours each time. The study included learning the fundamentals of calligraphy, classical Chinese painting, and creating ceramic art inspired by ancient poems. The control group received only traditional pottery aesthetic education. The anxiety symptoms of the subjects before, during, and after the intervention were assessed using the SAS-S scale (Symptom Assessment Scale-adolescent).
It was found that the experimental group scored significantly lower anxiety symptoms on the SAS-S scale than the control group after receiving an education that integrated traditional culture. In addition, the audience in the experimental group generally reported feeling soothed and having a deeper understanding and identification with pottery.
Aesthetic education by integrating traditional cultural elements such as calligraphy, classical painting, and ancient poems into modern ceramic design has a significant psychotherapeutic effect on audiences suffering from anxiety disorders. This provides a new, non-pharmacological approach to treating anxiety disorders and further confirms the value of traditional culture in modern society.
