Abstract

This paper examines the impact of family economic capital on adolescents' selection of art education and delineates the underlying mechanisms that precipitate these decisions. At the fundamental level, family economic capital exerts a direct influence on adolescents' access to and selection of art education resources. These educational resources encompass a variety of elements, including educators and facilities, as well as a range of course offerings in terms of both types and levels of profundity. Additionally, institutions, whether renowned or more conventional, are influenced by family economic capital. At the indirect level, factors, including the family's cultural atmosphere, parental education levels, social networks, and interpersonal resources, among other intermediary factors, have been shown to exert an influence on the decisions made by adolescents. The purpose of this study is to clarify how family economic capital shapes the differences in art education choices of adolescents, and to provide a theoretical reference for promoting the fairness of art education.
