The Impact of the Adaptive Education Strategy on the Development of Perspective Drawing Skills Among Students of the Art Education Department

Abstract

Perspective drawing is a fundamental aspect of both art education and the visual arts, as its principles align with the teaching of drawing in art education, particularly in the arrangement of subject elements within the spatial dimensions of a canvas—length, width, and depth. Mastering perspective drawing requires students to develop specialized skills in this area, yet it remains one of their most significant challenges. The researcher was driven to investigate this issue due to the students’ consistently low grades in perspective drawing, alongside the noticeable deficiency in their skills, as observed during her annual visits to various departments for research purposes. Through direct conversations with numerous students, she inquired about the reasons behind their struggle with perspective drawing. Their responses indicated that the instructional approach used in the subject was a key factor in their difficulties. This realization prompted the researcher to explore methods that could enhance students’ skills in this field, seeking an alternative to the traditional lecture-based teaching method commonly employed in perspective drawing courses. Consequently, she was guided to experiment with the Adaptive Education Strategy, given its rich educational components. Accordingly, the researcher has defined the focus of the current study as “The Use of the Adaptive Education Strategy in Developing Perspective Drawing Skills Among Students of the Art Education Department.”.
