<![CDATA[Modeling is an effective form of learning to help children understand the basic steps and techniques of drawing. According to Albert Bandura (1977), learning occurs through the process of observing and imitating a given model. With examples from the teacher, children more easily follow and produce structured drawings. However, the dominant use of modeling in drawing activities can create problems, namely, limiting the space for children to develop their creativity. Children's drawings tend to be uniform because they simply imitate the examples given without exploring their own ideas. This contradicts Utami Munandar's (2009) opinion, which states that creativity emphasizes divergent thinking and the generation of original ideas. Furthermore, in art learning, children should be given the freedom to express themselves through aesthetic experiences, dialogue, and reflection. K. Eglinton (2003) states that art learning should not only focus on technical skills but also on the process of exploration and self-expression.]]>
