Abstract

The research aimed to find a plastic approach to formulating the human form geometrically. The research also assumed that it is possible to benefit from the geometric formulations of the human form as an entry point for teaching anthropomorphic composition at the College of Art Education. To verify this, the researcher followed both the descriptive analytical approach and the experimental approach through a sample of (24) students. And a student in the fourth year of the Faculty of Art Education, Minya University. The research concluded, in some of its results, that geometric formulations of the human form led to an increase in the imaginative, creative and expressive ability of art education students, revealing new plastic formulations and approaches to the human form through geometric formulations, and the characteristics of the material and style. Its formation contributed to confirming the geometric formulations of the human form.

In some of its results, the research recommended focusing on the human form and the plurality of materials in sculpture courses in colleges of art education, and working on integrating human form sculpture and various sciences such as mathematics and physics in art education curricula, in addition to doing more experimental research to address the most important laws of nature and methods of shaping them. For students of art education.
