Creative Drawing Skill Development through Activity-Based Learning for Digital Art Students.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the following: Methods for promoting the development of creative works among Digital Art students in the Creative Drawing course; The results of creative skill development in the Creative Drawing course; and Student satisfaction with learning in the Creative Drawing course. The sample group consisted of 17 Digital Art students enrolled in the Creative Drawing course during the research semester. The study was conducted over a period of 10 weeks. The research instruments included a creative learning activity plan, a creative drawing skill assessment form, an art portfolio evaluation form, pre-test and post-test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The research findings revealed that the promotional method was the implementation of creative drawing learning activities designed based on the concepts of learning focused on observation, interpretation of identity through lines, use of diverse techniques, and critical reflection. These activities significantly developed creative drawing skills and enhanced the artistic creativity of Digital Art students. The development results indicated that the learning activities significantly impacted creative thinking (p < 0.05), especially in the aspects of originality, fluency, and flexibility of thought. Students' artwork demonstrated clear development in the unique use of lines to convey concepts, creativity, and composition that effectively communicates emotions. Overall student satisfaction was at the "Highest" level (overall mean = 4.57), with the highest satisfaction specifically in the areas of the instructor and the learning outcomes. These findings align with the concepts and research results of several academics who support the role of active and creative learning in developing essential skills for the 21st century.
