Abstract：This paper explores the integration of "Core Literacy in Art" into the curriculum design of the junior high school printmaking unit. The importance of aesthetic education, particularly printmaking, as a tool for developing core art literacy is emphasized. Printmaking encourages students to develop essential skills in creativity, critical thinking, emotional expression, and cultural understanding, which are central to the concept of core literacy in art. This study examines the theoretical basis of aesthetic education, its application in the printmaking unit, and practical strategies for its implementation in secondary education. The paper also explores challenges and provides recommendations for optimizing the curriculum, offering a comprehensive approach to fostering holistic student development.
