This paper aims to elaborate on the connotation and key points of the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept, analyze the existing problems in the teaching of art and design courses, and propose a teaching model and practical strategies for art and design courses based on the OBE concept. In the teaching of art and design professional courses, there exist problems such as a lack of innovation and diversity, insufficient practical application, insufficiently close cooperation between schools and enterprises, and a monotonous evaluation system, which have led to unsatisfactory outcomes in cultivating talents for art and design applications. It is particularly important to introduce the OBE concept into the construction of teaching models for art and design majors in order to promote the cultivation of applied talents in art and design. Implementing strategies based on the OBE concept can effectively enhance the quality of talent cultivation and meet market demands.
