Abstract

Craft art represents a cultural expression reflecting community creativity, identity, and skills. In Indonesia, craft art has a long historical tradition influenced by Hindu-Buddhist, Islamic, and European colonial cultures. One prominent manifestation of palace craft art is the royal carriage (kereta kencana), which serves as ceremonial transportation and a symbol of royal authority, social status, and cultural identity. This study investigates the royal carriage's aesthetic, symbolic, and technical representations as a significant artifact of palace craft art. The research adopts a qualitative approach through literature study, relying on written sources such as books, scientific articles, and historical documents. Findings indicate that the royal carriage reflects exceptional aesthetic quality and technical mastery through high-quality materials such as teak wood, precious metals, luxurious textiles, and intricate carvings, integrating elements of Hindu-Buddhist, Islamic, and Western cultures. Symbols such as Garuda, Arabic calligraphy, floral and faunal motifs, and Baroque ornaments represent the royal institutions’ philosophical, spiritual, and political values. Nevertheless, this research has limitations regarding the empirical exploration of symbolic meaning shifts in modern contexts. Further studies are recommended to employ ethnographic approaches, material analyses, and conservation strategies utilizing digital technology and artisan regeneration to maintain the relevance of palace craft heritage as a critical part of Indonesia’s cultural identity.

Abstract

In Aceh, ancient gravestones, as well as the peusijuek ritual, are increasingly marginalized by modernization and infrastructural development. However, they contain profound symbolic, spiritual, and aesthetic values that remain underrepresented in visual arts discourse. This study aims to explore how local cultural phenomena, particularly Aceh's ancient gravestones and the peusijuek ritual, can serve as conceptual and visual inspiration in the development of contemporary painting techniques. Employing a qualitative method with hermeneutic and artistic practice approaches, the exploration process was conducted through field observations at gravestone sites, visual technique experiments using rubbing, washing, collage, and the gestural act of reutek as a form of spiritual symbolism. All stages were organized in a tiered structure, visualized through a triangular diagram, illustrating an integrative process from observation to visual affirmation. The results show that creating visual techniques based on local culture can produce an authentic and meaningful visual language, while also serving as a reflective medium on the dynamics of cultural preservation amid modernization. These findings affirm that exploratory documentation of the technique creation process plays a crucial role in shaping visual distinctiveness and strengthening the artist's identity within the landscape of contemporary Indonesian art. The study further suggests that experimental practices grounded in local cultural symbols not only enrich the discourse of contemporary painting but also offer a model for sustainable artistic innovation that bridges tradition and modernity.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of a literacy program to introduce early reading habits for Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students and analyse its impact on students' reading interest. The background of this research is based on the low literacy culture of Indonesian students and the importance of fostering early reading habits as a foundation for learning and character development. The approach used in this study was qualitative with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subjects included the principal, literacy mentor teachers, students, and parents in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The results show that the literacy program at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students is implemented through various strategies, such as a 15-minute reading habit, story reading by teachers, the provision of reading boxes in each classroom, and parental involvement. This program has been proven to increase students' interest in reading, as evidenced by changes in student behaviours, who have begun actively reading during their free time, and increased student comprehension of the reading material. Challenges faced in program implementation include limited facilities, lack of teacher training, and a lack of engaging reading materials. However, active teacher participation and parental support are crucial factors in the success of this literacy program. This research recommends developing more engaging literacy resources and establishing reading communities, such as book clubs, to strengthen the reading culture among students. Thus, literacy programs not only play a role in improving reading skills but also serve as a foundation for students' character and love of knowledge
