Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model in improving the innovative character of elementary school students through fine arts learning. The method used in this study is a literature study with a qualitative approach. Data sources were obtained from relevant national and international scientific journal articles, proceedings, and electronic books and published in the 2020-2025 range. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify research findings related to the effectiveness of PjBL in fine arts learning. The results of the study show that the PjBL model is able to increase creativity, interest in learning, and form students' innovative character through active involvement in the planning and completion process of art projects. Project-based learning provides a meaningful learning experience, encouraging students to think creatively, dare to try new ideas, and produce innovative artwork. Therefore, PjBL is recommended as an alternative learning model that is effective in the development of innovative character of elementary school students.
