This case study examines the perspectives of art education and design students on the role of digital technologies in fostering creativity in art classrooms. The use of digital technologies in education is evident, and the growing understanding of the need to enhance creative performance has led to numerous efforts in art education. However, exploring students' viewpoints regarding the role of digital technologies in improving creativity can assist us in developing new strategies in art education. To achieve the research objectives, a survey was conducted among 40 master's students in the «Art Education» and «Design» departments of the Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. The research method employed was descriptive and case study. The data analysis focused on three aspects: idea generation, idea experimentation, and idea quality. The findings indicate that art education and design students at this university have a positive outlook in two areas: generating artistic ideas and enhancing the quality of ideas through digital technologies. However, they expressed that technology has not significantly helped them in experimenting with and manipulating ideas, as well as creating new ideas based on existing ones, or that students still lack sufficient mastery to use the capabilities that technology offers them fully. Based on these findings, this study can contribute to developing new strategies for integrating digital technology into the art education and design curriculum.
