<![CDATA[The use of digital learning resources has become important in Arts and Culture learning because it provides accessible visual and practical materials. This study aims to analyze the use of YouTube as a learning resource for Arts and Culture among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed from May 10 to June 21, 2026. The informants consisted of two Arts and Culture teachers and five tenth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was examined through source and technique triangulation. The results show that YouTube was utilized through instructional videos, practice tutorials, performance documentation, examples of artworks, and independent learning. Its use supported students’ attention, motivation, participation, understanding, independence, and skills in observing, identifying, analyzing, appreciating, and practicing Arts and Culture materials. However, its implementation faced challenges related to internet connectivity, digital literacy, content suitability, and the need for teacher guidance. These findings indicate that optimizing YouTube requires relevant content selection and structured teacher guidance.
