Visual art education requires a holistic approach that enables students to optimally develop their thinking and drawing skills. Gestalt theory, which emphasizes holistic perception, combined with HOTS and ADS. This study delves into how teachers can apply the Gestalt observation approach to improve students’ performance in HOTS and ADS. Through this research, the study provides a detailed explanation using the library method to review previous studies related to the current research, aiming to build an understanding that allows teachers to comprehend the usability of Gestalt theory in visual art learning, the challenges faced, and to provide practical recommendations for meaningful teaching practices to achieve maximum teaching goals in visual art subjects.
