Abstract

The study addresses the concept of geometric abstraction as an artistic approach that focuses on basic geometric shapes, enhancing students' design thinking abilities. The research aims to explore how to use the MediBang Paint program to enhance these skills in elementary school students, with a focus on the design criteria of geometric abstraction.



The study reviews the role of modern technology in education, highlighting the importance of introducing innovative teaching methods that align with this advancement. It also identifies key design criteria such as organization, precision, and balance, which contribute to the development of students' skills.



The research hypotheses indicate a positive relationship between the use of the program and the development of design thinking skills, as well as the employment of design criteria to enhance creativity.



A descriptive analytical and quasi-experimental approach was used to evaluate the program's impact on student performance. The results emphasize the importance of technological programs in developing educational tools and enhancing creative thinking, contributing to bridging the gap between traditional art education and modern technology.



The research concludes by presenting an educational model that integrates technology and artistic concepts to enhance the learning experience for students.
