Although multimedia has been around for a short time, they have created great changes in the human lifestyle. Multimedia could enter the education domain as a new method too. Motion graphic is one of the elements of a multimedia system that provides a creative possibility for learning and also contributes to knowledge development and learning ease. The purpose of this study is to look into the effect of motion graphics on learning color theory lessons in comparison with the traditional method. This survey is practical and experimental. Class A and Class B were selected from the freshmen of the Graphic Communications department of Azad University, each class with twenty students. The pre-test and post-test methods with the two control and experimental groups were used in order to determine the differences between the two classes. The results showed that there is not any significant difference between the mean of the class A and B scores. The subject of the visible spectrum from the lesson of color theory was taught for both class A and B. Teaching with the use of the traditional method for class A and teaching with the use of motion graphics for class B were done, and then the two classes answered the questions. T-test was used to investigate the difference between the mean of two classes' scores showing that the mean of the scores in the two classes increased in the post-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the mean of the scores of the two classes in the post-test. The mean of the scores for class B students was greater than that for class A students, showing the superiority of the graphic method of teaching
