Extracted from archive Daily kompas (12/10/2014), Tino began studying drawing at the Indonesian Academy of Fine Arts in Yogyakarta in 1961.
Previously, he learned to draw self-taught.
In Student City, his career as a drawing teacher took off.
He first taught children to draw at the Sono Art Gallery around 1969.
Due to his background in drawing, Pak Tino was asked to complete the Love to Draw program on TVRI Yogyakarta from 1976 to 1978.
About 10 years later, the TV show hosted by Pak Tino was taken over by the central TVRI in Jakarta, so the reach of the show expanded to many parts of Indonesia.
During 20 years of introducing Love to Draw, Pak Tino Tino has managed to transform his drawing activity into something simple and fun to make it very popular with children.

Straight lines and curved lines
Appearing on the screen, Mr. Tino gave the basic concepts of the drawing, that is, straight lines and curved lines.
Because combining the two lines will produce the desired image.
Not only that, Pak Tino also said that he also used letters and numbers as the basis for drawing other shapes.
Tino brought this simple method in a friendly way and always praised the children’s drawings that were sent to the TVRI studio.
Although he was once called a drawing teacher, Tino is not often referred to as the person who teaches drawing science to children.
“Teach? I don’t think I give drawing lessons to children. The truth is that I give them encouragement and arouse interest, passion and courage to draw them with a system and examples,” Tino said in a quote from Kompas Daily, August 19 1979.

In addition to stimulating imagination and creativity, drawing can also be a channel of emotions for children.
In 2017, a museum was established in Sidin’s former residence in Yogyakarta, perpetuating the legacy of Indonesia’s beloved master artist.
Happy birthday Mr. Tino Sidin!
