Connectivism is a new learning theory that adapts to the information society and the Internet age. Its concept and cognition about knowledge, learning, curriculum, teachers, students, and interaction that subvert traditional learning theories constitute the basic viewpoints of this theory. This theory provides a new direction and possibility for the teaching reform of art disciplines and art theory courses in the new era. Constructing modern smart classrooms and teaching models, applying connectivity learning theory to art theory classroom teaching, giving full play to the teacher’s role as a course facilitator in influencing and shaping the construction of network resources, constructing network course learning resources, and optimizing the network course learning environment have become The proposition of the times in the teaching reform of art disciplines and art theory courses in the new era.
