Abstract

This article focuses on the discussion of the four factors affecting the teaching effectiveness of oil painting courses. The factors examined are Mastery of Techniques (MT), Painting Materials (PM), Choice of Subject Matter (SM) and Teaching Methods (TM). This study engaged a survey of oil painting students in several universities in China. The PLS-SEM method was utilised by using Smart-PLS version 3. The findings of the study have confirmed that these four factors, namely Mastery of Techniques (MT), Painting Materials (PM), Choice of Subject Matter (SM) and Teaching Methods (TM), have positive and significant effects on Teaching Effect (TE). Therefore, related implications and suggestions are proposed to help enhance the level of Teaching effects (TE) on the students.
