Montessori education as a new method for teaching colors in design basics (case study foundation level)‎

الملخص EN

Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.

This method based on observations and evaluations of a student’s development, which is a fundamental key of the Montessori Method.

Color is one of the fundamental elements of art.

It is important for art students to not only be exposed to color theory, but to understand it.

By studying colors, students are able to embrace their own creativity and create their own masterpieces; one of the introductory art lessons is that of mixing colors and understanding the color wheel.

The researcher chose this method to help beginning students grasp the concepts of color theory and color schemes to help them advance through the curriculum with new skills.

Hence the research problem is to use general rules and concepts of Montessori to achieve a new method of color education to reform student’s knowledge, selfconfidence, self-correction and their own abilities in using colors.
