[[abstract]]The subjects of this research were the 90 students entering the art class from 2002 to 2004. The tools we used included: “Questionnaires of Basic Information and Educational Background from Junior High School art class students”, “School Studying Grades in Junior High School”, “School grades of Art”, “Grades from Daily Life Performance”, “Vision-Space Art Talent Examination”, and “Current Ability Investigation” in order to determine the influences on creativity performance from research subject’s personal and environmental factors. Furthermore, we would also discuss the correlation of creativity performance and learning achievements. Each of the research data will be statistically analyzed with description statistics, one-way analysis of variance, independent samples t test, and Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient. The conclusions of the research were detailed below: 1.The related factors to influence creativity performance The time length of learning painting, in art training background, showed variation in creativity performance. As to these personal and environmental factors like gender, birth sequence, parents employments, parents’ education levels, or participation in Art Class from elementary school, did not make significant statistical difference in creativity performance. 2.Performance of research subjects on acceptance examination Research subjects’ creativity performance in acceptance examination did have negative relation with the knowledge and ability to appreciation of beauty; it neither showed significant relation with sketch and watercolor grades as well. 3.The relation between creativity performance and learning achievement There was no significant relation between the creativity performance and school studying grades, but academic courses themselves showed highly positive and significant correlations. Creativity performance did not have significant correlation with art courses grades, but art courses had related significant and positive correlation with each other. Daily Life Performance had no significant correlation with creativity performance, but daily life performance in each semester did have significant correlation with average grades. 4.Creativity performance and personal characteristic Creativity Performance on acceptance examination did not have statistical correlation with learning characteristics, but it had significant correlation with art talent specialty, motivation characteristic, creativity characteristic, leadership characteristic, and communication characteristic; among these, the grades from creativity performance had the most significant correlation with creativity characteristic. At last, per the research findings, we proposed several suggestions as the reference to be used in acceptance examination for students with great art talent, art class teaching, and further research in the future.
