The environmental art design program at higher vocational colleges faces issues such as the separation of labor education and aesthetic education, and insufficient inheritance and innovation of intangible cultural heritage skills. To address these issues, this paper takes the "Ying Stone Design and Production Course" as an example to explore the integration of intangible cultural heritage skills into vocational education to achieve coordinated development in both labor and aesthetics. At the same time, it analyzes the practical characteristics of labor practices and the aesthetic educational value of intangible cultural heritage skills through theoretical construction, proposing a course design framework of "cultural cognition—skill training—innovation transformation." Furthermore, it relies on school-enterprise collaborative teaching and process evaluation mechanisms to optimize the practical path. Research shows that this model can effectively integrate labor skill training with traditional aesthetic education, providing theoretical support and practical references for the integration of five aspects of education in higher vocational environmental art programs.
