Classical poetry serves as the core carrier of China's outstanding traditional culture, rich in color imagery and aesthetic connotations. Color expression is a key competency in visual creation for junior high school art education, bridging literary aesthetics and visual representation. Based on practical teaching scenarios, this paper focuses on color expression as the central orientation to analyze instructional strategies for integrating classical poetry into visual creation. It proposes strategies such as delving into poetic color imagery to solidify the foundation of visual creation, strengthening color technique training to enhance expressive capabilities, innovating classroom teaching methods to stimulate creative engagement, and improving the teaching evaluation system to reinforce feedback on teaching effectiveness. These approaches aim to support the enhancement of visual creation teaching quality in junior high school art, elevate the color expressiveness of artworks, and demonstrate the value of classical poetry in educational practice.
