Abstract

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects child motoric sensors and cause children to have a disruption in their social life. Children with special needs (ABK) especially for children with autism, their creativity can be developed through drawings, paintings, music, dance and others. Picture is a language, children with autism can communicate with pictures, they do it naturally compared to writing that they do not understand. Lack of creativity or can be called the deficit of imagination is a common stereotype in children with autism. Some deficiencies in this autistic child make it difficult for them to express their imagination. Yet today, children’s drawing are a manifestation of their growth, about how to express their imagination and how much environmental influence their perception of a thing. According to Victor Lowenfeld, children‟s drawing can be classified according to age bracket. This study examines a number of things related to pictures of autistic children in Temara Ilmu Junior High School of Bandung. The formulation of the problem among others, (1) How is the process of drawing of autism children in in Temara Ilmu Junior High School of Bandung? (2) How are the drawing of autism children (visual elements) in in Temara Ilmu Junior High School of Bandung? The purpose of this study is to analyze the process and the results of drawing of children with autism in in Temara Ilmu Junior High School of Bandung. The results of the research have shown that if the exclusion of techniques should be used, children with autism are good visual learners, but lack of motoric skills and their deficit of imagination prevent them. Apparently they only imitate the object of the given image without adding another object according to the instruction. Their process of drawing is also much assisted by other parties. If their (an autistic child‟s) drawing was compared with Lowenfeld theory, there is only one child that can be quite the same. The results of the images of the three children when linked to the normal child picture period are one stage below the normal child. Images can be used by children with autism to communicate, helping skills in language and vocabulary.
