The characteristics of party building and ideological and political work are distinct, the construction of the guidance team has achieved significant results, and there are many highlights in aesthetic education and social practice work. He put forward four requirements for doing a good job in the next stage of work. Firstly, we must focus on party building and grassroots work, strengthen professional skills, and inspire the moral. The key is to deepen the integration of party building and professional skills around the implementation of the fundamental task of cultivating virtues and morality, especially in the construction of graduate guidance teams. Secondly, we should leverage our strengths, make contributions, strengthen aesthetic education, and cultivate new talents, with the focus on exploring and constructing a unique new paradigm for aesthetic education work, to contribute our power to the simultaneous development of the “five educations”. Thirdly, we should build platforms, attract talents, strengthen the team, and produce results with the focus on the target task of organized scientific research and innovation, and should take the opportunity of deeply integrating into the “Key Laboratory of Watershed Environment and Yangtze River Culture in Hubei Province (in preparation)” to strengthen the construction of teaching team. Fourthly, we should gather energy, promote righteousness, make a voice, and establish a brand with the focus on deeply exploring the rich resources of “art”, “aesthetics” and “media”, and telling the story of the era on “art + party building”.
