For hearing-impaired children, art education is a key way to perceive the outside world and show their inner selves. In the process of their growth, they shoulder multiple responsibilities such as stimulating creativity, improving aesthetic ability, and promoting emotional communication. Because of the hearing impairment of hearing-impaired children, they have a stronger sense of vision, touch, and other sensory experiences, which creates a unique starting point and operating space for developing art education. Based on the cognitive characteristics and growth needs of hearing-impaired children, this paper deeply explores the art education methods suitable for hearing-impaired children from four aspects: sensory compensation teaching mode, situational immersion guidance strategy, multiple expression incentives, and home-school cooperative education mechanism. It is expected that with the help of scientific and reasonable teaching strategies, the artistic potential of hearing-impaired children will be fully tapped, and painting will be used as a bridge to build a communication channel with the world, so as to achieve all-around cognitive, emotional, and social development.
