For the medium of fine art in the form of tools and materials are still encountered problems namely the limited tools and materials available for children to express. Drawing activities are still purely as a child's expression as they are, do not yet have a specific pattern to guide the child away. Freedom of expression given to children through drawing activities has a positive impact on children in other fields including modeling and dancing.
