In order to solve the serious mismatching problem between the cultivation of digital arts talents and industrial requirements, this paper focuses on how to construct an application-oriented cultivation model for digital arts talent based on the TOPCARES-CDIO engineering educational approach. This paper first introduces the reason that digital arts education should be reformed in China, and then briefly describes what strategies have been adopted, how to effectively turn them into reality and what has been achieved during the process of TOPCARES-CDIO education reform of digital arts. Practical outcomes have shown that the proposed talent cultivation model can play a demonstrative role in current digital arts education.
