Abstract

The future of rural areas hinges not only on the future of its people but particularly on the future of its children. Art must be integrated with education, delving into the realms of children’s psychology, rural culture, and social ecology. Furthermore, culture can reciprocally influence the economy, with the enhancement of spiritual culture having a positive impact on rural economic revitalization. This paper thus focuses on how to address the issue of adverse mental health conditions in children, improve their life skills, and enhance economic conditions in rural areas through participatory art education activities and design. By researching contemporary psychological issues among rural children, it grasps the fundamental problems and expounds on the concept of participatory art education in the context of rural revitalization. Scientific data analysis of various indicator systems is conducted using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), with Yantianzi Village in Hong Kong as an example. This paper creatively proposes an integrated system of participatory design and art education curriculum, encompassing culture, psychology, skills, and personality development. The aim is to use art education as a means to positively influence the rural economic improvement process, while also providing social value to the development of children and the overall cultural and economic thought of rural areas. This research contributes to the enhancement, refinement, and innovation of existing rural art education teaching systems.
