The research defines the basic aesthetic qualities and divides them into three parts: aesthetic consciousness, common sense, and behavior. Empirical evidence from more than 1000 college students of ten universities showed that many students still lack basic aesthetic knowledge and skills, and there are also significant differences in gender, location, and qualification. Therefore, college students have a relatively large demand for aesthetic education curriculum, especially in the arts. But obviously, the current aesthetic education curriculums in colleges and universities cannot meet the needs of students, and it is even more difficult to guarantee the aesthetic ability of students who lack art education in primary and secondary schools. Therefore, it is necessary to make up for deficiency in university courses, and to carry out professional-based and even interdisciplinary and cross-border aesthetic courses can achieve the goals of aesthetic education in universities.
