Abstract

This study investigates the impact of art criticism on enhancing the analytical and constructive abilities of first-year students in the Faculty of Fine Arts, specifically within the Design Department at the University of Babylon. The research addresses a gap in understanding how art criticism can aid in developing students' abilities to analyze and create artworks. The study employs a quantitative approach, examining a sample of students and utilizing statistical methods to assess the relationship between art criticism and student creativity. Results indicate no statistically significant correlation between male and female students' abilities at a 0.05 significance level, supporting the null hypothesis. Furthermore, an inverse relationship was observed between analytical motivation and creativity levels, suggesting that increased analytical focus may reduce creative expression. These findings highlight the complexities of integrating art criticism into fine arts education, with implications for curriculum development to balance analysis and creative growth.
