This paper presents findings and insights from a pilot study on online drawing instruction focusing on the Bargue drawing method conducted with a sample of students from the Art and Design Department at Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), Indonesia. The study aimed to explore the feasibility of an online course consisting of 16 hours of instruction delivered in two-hour sessions held every Tuesday and Thursday. The pilot study involved a total of 20 students. The research methodology employed in this study involved observation of the student’s behavior during the course and analysis of their drawing results. These methodologies facilitated a thorough evaluation of the student’s progress and performance. The participants faced various challenges throughout the online course, including internet connectivity issues, communication effectiveness, and fluctuating student motivation. Eventually, only eight students completed the course successfully. However, these students demonstrated significant progress and achieved impressive results in their drawings. This paper discusses the limitations and challenges encountered during the pilot study, emphasizing the need for an offline workshop model due to the constraints of online learning. The insight gained from this study contributes to understanding the necessary changes and considerations that should be addressed if one intends to pursue online pedagogy for art and design education.
