Abstract

Art training could improve our ability to discover and express beauty, yet we don’t know much about the effect of art training. With rectangle as the research object, this study evaluates the influence of art training on proportion control of rectangles via experiments and using of Bloom classification theory, so as to understand the effect of art training and the differences existing in proportion preference of contemporary audiences. According to the research: 1. Art training could effectively improve the subjects’ ability of cognitive judgement towards proportion, as well as creativity. 2. Education level has positive influence on overall proportion control. 3. The most popular rectangle proportion is 1: 1.618, followed by 1:1 and 1:2.
