%X <em>To the Lighthouse</em> is one of the stream-of-consciousness works written by the British modernist novelist Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) in 1927. Woolf used many artistic elements in the novel, which is in accordance with Woolf¡¯s concept of the novel. Some researchers have noticed Woolf¡¯s writing and artistic ideas. <em>To the Lighthouse</em> embodies many of Woolf¡¯s artistic thoughts and is of high research value. This thesis analyzes the artistic elements especially musical and pictorial elements in<em> To the Lighthouse</em> from an aesthetic perspective, by using the interdisciplinary research method and close reading method. The study indicates that the adoption of musical and pictorial techniques in the novel allows for a close combination of stream-of-consciousness text and artistry, which greatly enhances the readers¡¯ aesthetic experience.<br />
