The evolution of the educational landscape in China has brought heightened recognition to the significance of art education within the country. Nonetheless, the framework of domestic art education remains entrenched in a broader educational paradigm that predominantly emphasizes standardized testing. Consequently, this paper delves into the complex issues impeding the development of critical thinking skills through art education. By examining the current state of domestic art education through the lens of three fundamental components of critical thinking, this study underscores the formidable challenges that hinder the fostering of critical thinking skills within this domain. Drawing from a comprehensive analysis of teaching methodologies and educational practices in art education, this research presents a series of targeted strategies to propel the advancement of domestic art education by prioritizing the cultivation of critical thinking skills. Through the identification of key obstacles and the proposal of strategic interventions, this paper contributes to the discourse surrounding the enhancement of critical thinking abilities within the context of Chinese art education.
