Abstract—Aesthetic education is an indispensable part of the middle school education system, and educating people through aesthetics is an important mission of middle school art teachers. In the context of smart education, smart teaching centered around inspiring students’ wisdom has put forward new requirements and challenges for teachers’ teaching abilities. The smart teaching environment has forced middle school art teachers to upgrade and innovate their teaching abilities in five aspects: teaching, learning, management, evaluation, and thinking, giving birth to a “smart teaching ability” that meets the needs of smart education. Based on the Technical Pedagogical And Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, the article constructs and elaborates on the structural model of smart teaching ability for middle school art teachers, including Intelligent technology application ability, smart teaching design ability, smart content integration ability, smart teaching evaluation ability, smart classroom management ability, and smart resource development ability. From the three dimensions of knowledge, skills, and emotional attitude, this article explains that smart teaching ability promotes the acquisition of knowledge such as sketching, color, and composition among middle school students, promotes the improvement of skills such as art perception, appreciation, and creativity among middle school students, and promotes the emotional development of aesthetic, humanistic, and innovative qualities among middle school students. This paper discusses the strategies for enhancing the intelligent teaching ability of middle school art teachers from three aspects: cultivating awareness and concepts of intelligent teaching, enhancing knowledge and skills of intelligent teaching, and strengthening collaboration and innovation of intelligent teaching. The aim is to provide theoretical and practical references for research in this field.
