In the context of global aging, the physical and mental health of the elderly has become the focus of social attention. Based on the field of university education for the elderly, this study systematically excavates the healing value of traditional calligraphy and painting art, and constructs a three-in-one curriculum application model of "art techniques, psychological healing, and social participation". Through literature research, case analysis and interdisciplinary theoretical integration, this paper reveals the unique mechanism of calligraphy and painting art in emotional counseling, cognitive activation, self-integration and social connection, and proposes a practical curriculum design scheme in combination with the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Education for the Elderly". The research shows that the calligraphy and painting art healing course is not only an innovative path for the inheritance of traditional culture, but also an effective strategy to deal with the psychological crisis of silver age, providing a new perspective and method for the practice of active aging.
