This paper uses the Digital Media Arts program at Xianda College of Economics and Humanities, Shanghai International Studies University as a case study to explore three new methods in video art education. These methods aim to solve problems such as too much focus on technical skills, low student motivation, weak theoretical knowledge, and difficulties in expressing ideas due to psychological issues. The first method is the introduction of a peer review system, which encourages more interaction and feedback between students, increasing their motivation to create. The second is adding somaesthetics courses, which help students express their inner feelings through body experiences, improving their mental health. Lastly, the evaluation system was reformed to make the educational process more complete and varied. Through case studies and data analysis, this paper shows that these changes have had a strong positive impact on students’ artistic expression, creativity, and mental well-being.
