The research tool was to formulate a cognitive test for the subject of Art History on a sample consisting of students of the Department of Art Education, numbering (60) male and female students distributed into two groups. The data were analyzed using the statistical package (SPSS) The results showed that teaching with the thinking hand strategy on the achievement of art education department students in the art history subject has a clear effect on the superiority of the experimental group students compared to the cognitive achievement of the control group students, thus rejecting the null hypothesis. This means that there is a statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group students in the post-test.
