Meningkatkan Kreativitas Mahasiswa PIAUD Melalui Metode Melukis Bersama (Collective painting)

Abstract

The difficulty of students in determining creative ideas, especially in drawing activities, is a challenge that needs to be circumvented by educators. This article aims to increase students' creativity in decorative drawing through the application of the collective painting method. The research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive presentation. The object of the research is students of the Early Childhood Education study program in the second semester of the Basics of Drawing course. The focus of the research is directed at decorative drawing activities with the collective painting method, which requires cooperation, cohesiveness, and the ability to pour ideas to each other. The process of working with this method has been proven to be able to spur creativity, accelerate processing time, and produce large and monumental works. The results of the study show that students experience an increase in enthusiasm for work, are more active in collaborating, and are able to produce works with more optimal quality. The conclusion of the study confirms that the collective painting method is effectively used as a learning strategy to increase students' creativity in decorative drawing, as well as foster an attitude of cooperation and motivation to work. These findings contribute to the development of fine arts learning methods in universities, especially in the context of early childhood education.
