Abstract
Art is a natural human need. The game theory about the origin of art, imitation theory, residual energy catharsis theory, all involve human nature and emotional expression. Art is the natural expression of mental state and personality characteristics. The research on art education and psychotherapy is based on the research results of RON Field, an American art educator in the middle of the 20th century. In his book Creation and the Growth of the Mind, he discusses the issue of “therapy through art education”. He regards art creation as a tool to express behavior and emotion, and art as a tool to achieve self-cognition. The therapeutic essence of art education is to use creative activities as a method of self-cognition. This view has found an important theoretical basis for art therapy, and also pointed out the integration point of art therapy and art education. The goal of achieving self-realization through artistic activities and promoting the development of sound personality is consistent.
Ceramic art is a discipline that requires strong practical ability, expressive ability and creative ability. In the process of treating patients, clay can be used as a material to express behaviors and emotions, and as a method of self-cognition through making and creating activities. Ideal art therapy is also a kind of art education, which can be used not only to guide people to understand an object, but also to guide people to visually reproduce the object. The popularization of ceramic art design in Colleges and Universities education can also play a healing effect in solving the psychological problems of Colleges and Universities students. The clay making process can be used as a way for Colleges and Universities students to solve problems and express their feelings and ideas, and help students get out of the trouble caused by some environmental, memory or emotional problems. And look for the potential and emotional strength that students show in the process of making ceramic objects, which can be strengthened to support the life of Colleges and Universities students after treatment.
Researchers in universities in the form of questionnaires, research university student common psychological problems and the acceptance of ceramic art teaching way, on the basis of data analysis for ceramic art of mental health education course construction, gradually formed in view of the Colleges and Universities students mental health care system of ceramic art education, through effective teaching link, The use of ceramic art education can not only cultivate the aesthetic ability, but also cultivate the heart and temperament, so as to find and treat the mental health problems of Colleges and Universities students in time.
