Abstract
This study aims to investigate the impact of utilizing digital technologies in teaching the subject of Art Elements to first-year students in the Department of Art Education at the University of Diyala. The researcher adopted the experimental method, dividing the sample into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 40 students. Both groups underwent a pre-test and a post-test, as well as an observation checklist. The experimental group received instruction using a digital technology-based program, while the control group followed traditional teaching methods. The results revealed statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level in favor of the experimental group in both the post-test and the observation checklist. These findings highlight the effectiveness of integrating digital technologies in teaching Art Elements, as they contribute to enhancing students’ understanding, engagement, and artistic skills at the early university level.
