Abstract

This study aims to describe the activities of street children of Save Street Child Surabaya (SSCS) in expressing themselves in the form of drawings. Visual elements such as lines, shapes, colors, expressions, and symbols of their drawings, as well as the meanings behind them, can be identified as the works of visual images of street children of SSCS. This research is descriptive qualitative. Sources of data used in this study consist of primary and secondary data. This study uses data collection methods such as interviews, documentation, and observation. Analysis of the data used in this research is descriptive analysis. Based on the results of research and discussion, it can be concluded that the expressions of SSCS street children in the form of drawings can be seen from the symbols in their work. Drawing for children is meant as an expression. Each child is different in growing, feeling, understanding, and interpreting his or her environment. Drawing for a child is meaningful like learning, which is to build concepts and take the visible forms of the surrounding environment by creating symbols. This symbolizing process is then arranged into drawings of symbols. Identification of visual elements such as lines, shapes, colors, expressions, and symbols of the works of SSCS street children can be explained that in the process of transferring into the form of drawings or paintings, children’s minds are controlled by the subconscious and poured into symbolic forms.
