"What is creativity?" "How creative can I get?" "I do have many creative ideas, but I can't get my hands to
draw them!" As an architecture and interior architecture educator, the author always hears this type of
questions from the students especially the freshmen. They always blame their hands and strive to develop
their free-hand way of drawing while the problem has nothing to do with these hands. It is their way of
thinking and perception which they practice daily while knowing nothing about its course of action. Brain
Based Learning offers the knowledge of the structure and functions of the organ of thinking, the brain, and
how to utilize that in education.
But to many, the term "brain-based learning" sounds redundant. Isn't all learning and teaching brainbased?
The answer is, yes, but there is a difference between "brain-compatible" education, and "brainantagonistic"
teaching practices and methods which can actually prevent learning (Lisa Chipongian).
Learning must go beyond memorization to include goal directed learning that allows the student to emerge
with a new idea or realization, in another word to be creative.
This study started with the assumption that using brain based learning enhances the capability of visual
art and design students to control over their Creativity Progressive Stages. The study started with a deep
cross-disciplinary search about the brain creative capabilities and the teaching strategies that get the best and design. The study Proposed 6 additional Principles for brain based arts and design education. That
led to modification of the brain based learning Instructional Approach to be applicable for art and design
education and the result was suggested 6 steps course structure, for beginners, which trains and activate
their creative brain and allow them to control over their Creativity Progressive Stages..
use of these capabilities and end up with a new integrated view of the brain based learning for visual art
