The purpose of this study is to comprehendthe 'value' of a concept of 'medium of creation’ in an effort to further improve the visual interaction. This qualitative analysis with the procedural method begins with data collection through observation of students who are given treatment in the form ofa simulation of the implementation of 'white space' as the concept of ‘medium of students creation’in their classrooms through 360º video. The results of the study stated that the implementationof 'white space' is very effective as a concept of 'medium of creation' which can provide stimulationfor students in the stage of increasing the visual interaction in their learning space. The medium of creation has a 'value' which is able to train the ‘freedom’ of expression of the students through the implementationof illustrations and colors in the 'white space'. That 'freedom' is able to increase children's creativity so that it indirectly provides a psychological impact onchildren in an effort to createmotivation and increase their learning interest.
