<![CDATA[This study examined the effectiveness of the drill method for line and dot material in improving decorative-pattern drawing skills among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 106806 Cinta Rakyat. The study used a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants were 44 fifth-grade students selected through total sampling: 22 students in class V-A as the control group and 22 students in class V-B as the experimental group. Data were collected through practical drawing tests administered before and after instruction, observation, and documentation. The control group received conventional instruction, while the experimental group learned through structured and repeated practice using lines and dots. The mean score in the control group increased from 70.00 on the pretest to 74.09 on the posttest, a gain of 4.09 points. In the experimental group, the mean increased from 65.00 to 85.00, a gain of 20.00 points. The thesis reports a posttest independent-samples t-test significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between groups. The findings descriptively favor drill-based instruction, particularly for practice in line control, dot placement, neatness, motif patterning, and composition. Keywords: drill method, lines and dots, drawing skills, decorative patterns]]>
