The unstoppable progress of technology affects all aspects of our lives, including education. Today, researchers are looking to include digital applications and virtual environments in education and instruction processes. This research concerns using digital tools called mobile design applications in visual arts education courses. This research aims to reveal the effect of mobile design applications in the visual arts education course on the creativity of secondary school students. Data were collected through Creativity Level Analytical Rubric (CLAR), which the researchers developed. The study sample consisted of 38 students studying in the 11th grade of a public school in Ankara and was selected randomly. The study lasted 14 weeks. The designs made by the participants using mobile design applications were evaluated using CLAR by three experts who had at least Ph.D. education in the field of visual arts. Obtained scores were interpreted, and as a result, it was concluded that mobile design applications positively affect the participants' creativity.
