Analysis of Shading Techniques in Student Work in Drawing Course Form
Abstract
This research is oriented to test students' competence in applying shading techniques in the Shape Drawing course through the identification of patterns of technical errors and the preparation of structured evaluation indicators. Through a qualitative descriptive approach with a visual content analysis method, this study examined the works of 33 students of the Fine Arts Education study program, State University of Makassar. The evaluation of visual performance is based on three essential parameters, including: line characteristics and pressure control, accuracy of tonal value gradations, and representation of the object's material texture. Empirical findings indicate that the majority of students have achieved an adequate level of proficiency in the aspects of line control (57.6% of the fair category) and the application of gradation (60.6% of the fair category) in constructing the volume of objects. However, elementary obstacles are still detected in the representation of texture and detail, where 54.5% of students are in the poor category due to the inability to interpret the physical properties of objects into scratches. This phenomenon is allegedly strong due to the low sharpness of visual observation, tactile hesitancy in deceiving the image media, and the limitations of line exploration exercises. As a pedagogical implication, this study conceptualizes the application of a transparent analytical assessment rubric to optimize the quality of reconstructive feedback in fine arts learning in higher education.
