This paper assessed the use of computer assisted instruction in enhancing students' creative ability in sculpture education in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. The study adopted non- randomized pretest, posttest control group. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The mean score were used in testing the only research hypothesis. There was no significant difference in students' creativity ability in sculpture when taught using computer instructional and conventional approach. The results of data analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Scheffe post-hoc showed that students with high and average creative ability benefited most than their counterparts in conventional teaching methods. It was concluded that application of computer in learning environment has significant influence on the student's performances in sculpture.
