The current research aims at exploring drawing as a tool of children to depict their interests, emotions and feelings, a process that will help them 1 to get to know themselves better, 2 to release emotions easily and 3 expand their skills set. Drawing is also a form of visual expression of the interior affective states. More so, the concept of imagination is regarded as a basis of creativity and innovation. The paper is divided into four chapters: The first chapter identifies the research problem whose question is as follows: Is there an effect of the fantasy story on the development of the artistic expression of primary school pupils? The aim of the research is to find out the impact of the fantasy story on developing artistic expression among primary school students. The null hypothesis, which was used to test this objective, was presented as follows: The differences between the mean scores of artistic expressions between experimental group pupils at the beginning and the end of the intervention are not statistically significant at 0.05. The second chapter includes three sections: the first section deals with the concept of imagination and children’s imagination; the second focuses on children’s stories; and the third discusses artistic expression among children. The third chapter covers research procedures. The research population consisted of third-grade pupils at Al-Safi Al-Najafi Primary School, totaling 20 pupils. The research sample included 18 pupils, all representing one experimental group. To achieve the research procedures, the researcher constructed a tool for analyzing the drawings of the sample. This tool consisted of 2 main domains subdivided into 20 secondary areas, with 11 sub-domains verified for validity and reliability. The fourth chapter deals with the results and conclusions concluded by the researcher and a comparison between the pupils’ scores in the pre-test and post-test, using the t-test, showed statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level in favor of the post-test. Hence, using the fantasy story proved effective in developing artistic expression and can be adopted in teaching art education for third-grade pupils.
