Aesthetic education serves as a vital component in moral cultivation and talent development. Against the backdrop of comprehensive implementation of core competency education philosophy, integrating aesthetic education into subject teaching and achieving collaborative education has become a pressing challenge in current basic education reform. This study examines the core competencies of art education as a starting point, exploring deep alignment between aesthetic education and subject teaching in terms of objectives, content, and methodologies. It analyzes pathways for identifying and reconstructing aesthetic elements within subject curricula, proposes interdisciplinary collaborative education mechanisms and practical strategies, and constructs an operational framework for collaborative education through school-based practices and evaluation safeguards. The research concludes that integrating aesthetic education into subject teaching should transcend superficial formal embedding, focusing instead on holistic development of students' aesthetic perception, creative expression, and humanistic literacy. By leveraging beauty to inspire wisdom and refine character through aesthetic experiences, we can fully realize the educational synergy of aesthetic education.
