Abstract

This study investigates creativity characteristics in elementary school students' drawings through the framework of Viktor Lowenfeld's artistic development theory. Despite extensive research in Western contexts, limited empirical evidence exists regarding children's artistic development in Indonesian elementary schools, particularly concerning how visual elements reflect developmental stages. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to analyze ten drawings produced by second-grade students at SDN 1 Petobo, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, during the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through systematic observation of student artwork, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and photographic documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's continuous comparative method focusing on line quality, form characteristics, spatial organization, and color application. Findings reveal that students consistently exhibited schematic stage characteristics including stable visual schemas, baseline spatial organization, geometric form simplification, and representational color usage. Unexpectedly, several students demonstrated nascent depth representation techniques typically associated with later developmental stages, suggesting that contemporary educational environments may accelerate certain artistic competencies. Individual variations in compositional complexity and narrative elaboration were observed within the overall schematic consistency. This research validates Lowenfeld's framework cross-culturally while demonstrating that Indonesian elementary students' artistic development aligns with established developmental patterns, contributing empirical evidence to the literature on children's creativity in non-Western educational contexts and supporting developmentally appropriate art pedagogy.

Abstract

Children survivors of the 2018 Palu liquefaction disaster experienced profound psychological trauma that often exceeds verbal articulation capacity. Visual art provides alternative pathways for understanding children's disaster experiences and psychological states. This study examined visual characteristics in paintings produced by child liquefaction survivors at SDN 1 Petobo to understand how children represent traumatic disaster experiences through artistic expression. A qualitative descriptive design was employed with purposive sampling of child survivors aged 7-12 years. Data collection involved systematic analysis of children's paintings, semi-structured interviews with children, teachers, and parents, and observational documentation. Visual characteristics were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, focusing on line quality, spatial organization, symbolic elements, form, and color selection. Triangulation across multiple data sources ensured trustworthiness. Analysis revealed consistent patterns: irregular, broken lines depicted environmental instability; cross-sectional spatial representations demonstrated internalization of liquefaction mechanics; universal inclusion of displaced structures and endangered figures established shared trauma narrative; dark earth tones dominated disaster zones while bright colors in peripheral spaces suggested preserved hope. Notably, rescue personnel were absent from all paintings, indicating ongoing vulnerability perceptions. Children's post-disaster artwork functions as multilayered text encoding traumatic experience, scientific understanding, and psychological states simultaneously. Findings validate art-based approaches for trauma assessment and support integration of creative expression into disaster education curricula.
