Abstract

This study aims to describe (1) drawing techniques and (2) drawing tools used according to elementary school students (SD). This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. Subjects of the study are elementary school students of grade III, IV, V and VI in Malang city and regency. To collect data, this study used questionnaires and drawing documents. A content analysis approach and art appreciation were used to analyse the data. The results indicate that (1) drawing techniques involving self-creation, (imitating books and the Internet), were assisted by fathers, mothers, brothers and friends. They imitated magazines and resources. For example, objects were seen directly, teachers' demonstration drawings were copied and techniques came from the imagination of the children themselves. (2) The drawing tools used included pencils, crayon paint, coloured pencils, markers, poster paint, pens and other tools. © 2019 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
