<![CDATA[Visual arts education provides opportunities for young children to develop imagination, express ideas, and explore different forms of creative expression. This study aims to explore visual arts as a medium for developing early childhood creativity at Bungong Kupula Kindergarten, Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh, Indonesia. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to examine visual arts activities, children's creative expression, and teachers' strategies for facilitating artistic exploration. Data collection involves classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities and children's artwork. Data are analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with triangulation used to strengthen the credibility of the interpretations. The analysis focuses on two main dimensions: visual arts activities as a medium for stimulating children's imagination and creative expression, and teachers' strategies for fostering creativity through visual arts education. The study is intended to provide a contextual understanding of how drawing, painting, finger painting, and collage-making can create opportunities for children to experiment with materials, develop original ideas, and make independent artistic decisions. It also highlights the importance of intentional instructional planning, diverse learning materials, freedom of expression, and supportive teacher guidance in early childhood visual arts education. The findings are expected to inform the development of child-centered artistic learning experiences that encourage creativity and recognize individual differences in children's expression.]]>
