Abstract

This study aims to explore the necessity, application paths, and practical value of integrating eco-friendly materials into vocational art and design courses against the backdrop of the Dual Carbon Policy, addressing the current issues of disconnection between vocational art and design curriculum and national low-carbon development goals, as well as the insufficient application of eco-friendly materials in teaching. The research adopts methods including literature review, logical analysis, and comparative research: first, it systematically sorts out the core requirements of the Dual Carbon Policy for the green transformation of the education sector and the development trend of eco-friendly materials in the field of art and design; second, it analyzes the current status of vocational art and design courses, focusing on the gaps in environmental protection concepts, material selection, and teaching content; then, it constructs a theoretical framework for the application of eco-friendly materials in such courses, clarifying the principles, key links, and support conditions of integration; finally, it discusses the expected effects of this application from the perspectives of optimizing curriculum structure, improving students' green design literacy, and promoting the sustainable development of the art and design industry. The results show that the reasonable application of eco-friendly materials in vocational art and design courses can not only align the curriculum with the national Dual Carbon Strategy but also enhance the professional competitiveness of students in the low-carbon economy era, providing theoretical reference and practical guidance for the green reform of vocational art and design education.
