Painted pottery, as a splendid treasure of China's prehistoric civilization, its patterns and color matching carry the aesthetic wisdom and cultural codes of the ancestors, and are an important carrier of traditional cultural inheritance. Integrating the content of color matching of painted pottery patterns into junior high school art teaching is not only an important path to implement the goal of cultural inheritance and innovation under core literacy, but also an effective means to improve students' aesthetic ability and cultivate humanistic feelings. Based on the requirements of the times for traditional cultural inheritance and combined with the characteristics of junior high school art teaching, this paper discusses the implementation strategies of color matching teaching of painted pottery patterns from four dimensions: teaching value positioning, teaching content construction, teaching method innovation and teaching evaluation optimization. It aims to provide theoretical reference and practical ideas for the effective integration of traditional culture into junior high school art teaching, and help students feel the charm of traditional culture in color learning and enhance their cultural confidence and innovative awareness.
