Nowadays, domestic architectural art education can be summarized into three systems: "traditional technique training", "structural sketching training", and "visual perception training" which is more in line with current trends. By analyzing their origins and characteristics and comparing the teaching summaries of different scholars, this paper summarizes the current situation and innovation direction of domestic architectural art education. Meanwhile, on the basis of in-depth analysis of the specific teaching structure, characteristics, and deficiencies of "visual perception training" system, aiming at the current situation of architectural art education in local colleges and universities, starting from the aspects of "regional", "curriculum interaction" and "personal emotion", it is possible to propose a new concept of "visual perception training" from a critical perspective and conduct corresponding teaching reform experiments.
