Abstract

This research deals with the use of collaborative learning and self-construction methodologies to enhance the art education and creative expression skills of secondary school students. The research aims to address the problem of the lack of effective interaction and creativity in artistic work among students, with a focus on the weakness of deep understanding of artistic expression and critical thinking abilities in the field of art education. The research aims to develop innovative teaching strategies that encourage effective interaction with art materials and stimulate creativity and personal artistic expression among students. The methodology followed in this research is based on combining the participatory approach with a focus on self-building, with an emphasis on teamwork and providing a stimulating and supportive learning environment for creative interaction. The methodology is applied through designing a specific educational program that aims to improve students’ abilities in artistic expression and enhance their understanding of the visual arts and artistic heritage. This research is expected to yield positive results in increasing the level of effective interaction with art materials and improving students’ creative and expressive abilities. It is also expected that adopting the proposed educational strategies will enhance creative self-confidence and personal artistic abilities, which will contribute to the development of a more diverse and rich artistic community
