In-depth Analysis of the Positive Impact of the Organic Integration of Nonheritage Aesthetic Education and Art Healing on College Students’ Mental Health in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract In the increasingly competitive situation, college students are facing various pressures such as study, life, emotions, etc. It is highly probable that these pressures will have negative effects on both physical and mental health. In this paper, non-heritage aesthetic education and virtual interactive technology are respectively used as the driving force and model mechanism to construct an effective path for the organic integration of non-heritage aesthetic education and art healing, and the virtual interactive space integrating non-heritage aesthetic education is designed by using 3D max modeling technology and unity3d development platform. The changes in the mental health of college students were quantified by biofeedback measurement, happiness index scale, and psychological distress scale. The results showed that the alpha wave of the brain of the college students with low levels of psychological distress before and after the virtual interaction experiment gradually increased within 30 minutes, and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased, indicating that they showed a state of relaxation and concentration during the interactive process of experiencing the non-heritage. In addition, there were highly significant differences (P<0.01) in the scores of study anxiety, loneliness tendency and physical symptoms of college students before and after the experiment of the subject college students, and the other dimensions of psychological distress were also well regulated. This paper shows that the integration of non-heritage aesthetic education and art healing has a positive effect on promoting the psychological health of college students to a certain extent and is of profound significance for contemporary colleges and universities to cultivate socialist successors with positive energy and responsibility.
