Therefore, innovation under orientation toprofessional training is becoming an indispensable trend, an urgent requirement for pedagogicalschools, considered as a breakthrough to achieve the objectives of fundamental and comprehensivereform of education today [2]. - The current reality shows that the training of Fine Arts students in schools is a lot ofinadequacies, not deep and comprehensive innovation to fit the reality, so makes training qualityseverely decline.
