Background and Objective: Art education has always been a focus of attention of education experts as one of the important factors in the development of personality and creativity of students. Art, especially during adolescence when personality and individual capabilities are being formed, plays an important role in developing critical thinking, problem-solving ability, and enhancing creativity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of art education on the creativity of female junior high school students.

The statistical population consisted of 1253 female high school students in Selsele city, of which 170 students were randomly divided into five groups, including three experimental groups and two control groups

Findings: In the descriptive statistics section, the mean, standard deviation, and standard error indices were used. In the inferential statistics section, analysis of covariance tests were used using SPSS-21 software. All three variables examined in this study—duration of art classes (F=19.483), variety of educational content (F=117.436), and teacher expertise (F=32.792)—had a significant effect on the creativity of female junior high school students.

Conclusion:The results indicate the vital importance of art education in schools and its direct impact on fostering students' creativity. Art education also provides students with opportunities to participate in creative activities, enhance their sense of curiosity, and develop skills such as mental fluidity, accuracy, and self-confidence.
