In this study, a research group of 12 people, who were selected byconsulting to the experts and teachers, was appraised since it is not possible to reach outthe all of the students.A preliminary application study has been made by the selected 12 students inorder to determine the evidences regarding th abstraction notion.

In order to determine the evidences regarding theabstraction notion of these selected 12 students, the paintings that were made by theabstraction thought were scored by 3 area experts by taking the measurements ofdimensions of sketching, color-using, application of the technique and completion of thestudy. The Wilcoxon marked series were used on the emerged application and data fordetermining whether there is a score difference between preliminary and ultimatestudies since the studided groups were small and the scores obtained from these groupsare inter-related. All of these analysis were made by using th SPSS 15 program. Thelevel of suggestiveness was taken as p<.05.In the result of the application arised from this research and statistical findings,the level of diversity between the first and last application studies was determined. Withrespect to this result, the dimensions of sketching, color-using, application of thetechnique in the last studies reached to more success in comparison with the preliminarystudies. However, there was not detected a big improvement in the dimension ofcompletion of the study.The elimination of general indeficiencies of the students regarding the dimensionsof sketching, color-using, application of the technique and completion of the study intheir preliminary studies by the last studies can be explained, in the result of thisresearch, as emanated from the acquired information by the abstraction presentationmade by the researcherThe main point of this study is to emphasize on the necessity of teaching the finearts high school students the historical, intellectual and plastic development processes ofart of painting, direct them in accordance with the individual differences and make finearts high school students think on a wide perspective, for reaching the targeted aim ofeducation process.
