Improving Artistic Creativity Through Tracing and Matching Activities Using Three-Dimensional Media in Group B at RA Diponegoro 68 Pancasan, Kecamatan Ajibarang, Kabupaten Banyumas, 2021

Abstract

Early childhood education is a highly fundamental stage in a child's development, particularly in fostering various basic skills that support future learning. However, based on observations at RA Diponegoro 68 Pancasan, it was found that children's ability to trace and match was still low. Children faced difficulties in completing these tasks neatly and according to the pattern, which was caused by a lack of creativity, patience, and perseverance. The teaching method used, namely demonstration, had not been fully effective in improving these skills, resulting in final outcomes that were still far from the expected criteria. This study aims to enhance children's artistic creativity through tracing and matching activities using three-dimensional media. By improving the learning method to be more interactive and practice-based, it is expected that children will become more motivated, diligent, and able to complete tasks more effectively. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of more effective learning models for enhancing artistic creativity in early childhood education.
