Abstract

This study explores integrating Chinese paper-cutting with modern multimedia technology (AI, AR, VR) in primary art education, aiming to build a teaching guide that balances cultural heritage with technological empowerment. Using a "culture-technology-education" framework, the research employed literature analysis, expert interviews, surveys, teaching experiments, and IOC evaluations. Interviews clarified the educational logic of AI, AR, and VR, identifying a "digital design + manual implementation" path. Surveys revealed key needs like resource scarcity and student preference for cooperative learning. Based on these findings, a progressive 12-lesson, six-module course was developed. A 4-hour teaching experiment with fifth graders in Guangzhou showed significant improvements in pattern understanding, technical skills, learning interest, and cultural identity. The resulting guide and resource package offer practical, ready-to-use support for teachers. The study concludes that merging paper-cutting with multimedia technology effectively stimulates artistic interest and cultural identity while fostering innovative thinking. It holds strong theoretical and practical value, suggesting future work should expand trials and explore emerging technologies to build a broader digital education ecosystem for intangible cultural heritage.
