Abstract

Color occupies an important place in all aspects of our activity, and artists, naturalists, psychologists and others have been interested in different aspects of color, and other than the aesthetic aspect of colors, knowing the effect of color on the psychology and physiology of the human body has given results that we can benefit from in the field of art education in general and the field of stereoscopic formation in particular.
In this research, we emphasize that the theoretical study of colors is not intended to delete the feelings and emotions of the artist in front of the poetry of these colors, but rather to direct these feelings and refine them in sculptural works that have their own expression.
And that the radical change that occurred in the sculptural formation, until the sculptural form reached those contemporary colored sculptures, it is the biggest evidence of that revolution in the field of sculptural formation, and the employment of color appears as one of the broad phenomena of expression, where the sculptor uses color as a compositional aspect, or as an expressive aspect in the construction of sculptural work, as one of the plastic and expressive solutions for colored sculptural forms.
Through the researcher's knowledge of many of the works of modern sculpture, he noticed that many of the sculptural works relied in their construction on installation methods, which distinguished them from other artistic creations with special features that require detection and benefit from them in achieving new creative entrances that can be a vision that may contribute to finding new formulations, methods and techniques used in the field of art education, especially the field of sculpture.
The researcher believes that the sculptor can exploit the visual value of colors to create compositional sculptural formations with areas of varying colors in terms of wavelengths to achieve different visual effects. Colors are used as a dimensional value in terms of the horizontal effect of colors, which is attributed to visual theoretical effects, and that makes distant objects appear.
Colors are of great importance in linking the elements of the compositional sculptural work, whether the color is the result of the color of the material used in the sculptural work, or it was colored during its formation, and one of the benefits of color is that it can unify the work when using modern industrial materials and advanced techniques in the installation of innovative sculptural forms, i.e. structural structural sculptures.
There is no doubt that addressing the aspect of installation in the field of sculpture study, analysis and experimentation can contribute effectively to the strengthening of the sculptural formation based on the basis of scientific thinking, which prompted artists in the twentieth century to go out to new sites for unfamiliar work, and the practice of installation methods in the field of art education, especially sculpture, creates opportunities for education and training on the practices of creative thought, including the opportunities to change the shape, move it, reorganize it and arrange it in new and unfamiliar ways. In the use of these materials, it can also lead to the emergence of new plastic and imaginary patterns that reflect innovative, unprecedented and familiar plastic connotations and meanings, which is a proposed plastic entrance to the teaching of sculpture that may help to find plastic formulations that represent multiple intellectual patterns in terms of plastic and expressive.
