Color teaching in primary school art is not only the basic stage of visual cognition and artistic techniques, but also has a crucial significance in stimulating students' creative thinking. However, in current teaching, there are generally situations such as content stereotyping, restricted expression, and single methods, which hinder students' free expression and imagination cultivation in color practice. Facing this predicament, this article analyzes the interactive relationship between color teaching and creativity, providing optimization paths from four dimensions: content design, teaching strategies, classroom organization, and evaluation systems. It also explores practical forms and improvement suggestions for stimulating students' creative potential in color teaching with teaching examples, with the aim of providing effective references for primary school art teaching.
