The specific methods are as follows:

1. The teaching methods include classroom teaching, discussion, self-study and practice, emphasizing case teaching, self-study and practical skills training;

2. The performance assessment should include written examination, subject-based design and research, exhibition of works, thesis writing, etc., which should be determined by the teachers.

3. The students should participate in necessary observation, academic lectures, academic reports, professional seminars, professional exhibitions, art practice and social surveys, etc., to broaden their horizons, improve their comprehensive artistic quality, and cultivate the ability to analyze and solve problems and practical skills.

4. During the period of study, the students should attend at least one academic conference every academic year, read out one academic paper or exhibited works; they are encouraged to participate in high-level art design and creation activities, and publish design and creation works and related papers.
