Enhancing artistic expression through installation art: A training program based on the experimental dialectical approach

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an experimental dialectical approach in improving artistic expression skills and to examine the relationship between using synthetic art and the development of these skills with materials and media. To do this, a quasi-experimental method was used. The study involved 80 female second-year middle school students from Al-Ahsa Governorate, divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each with 40 students. A scale measuring artistic expression skills was used to evaluate their performance. Researchers were trained through a specific program. The results showed significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the use of materials and media, with the experimental group performing better in the post-test. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between the use of installation art and the development of artistic expression skills related to materials and media in the experimental group after the intervention. Based on these findings, further studies on fine arts and their impact on developing artistic expression skills in students at different educational levels are recommended.
