Abstract

Pasraman, ashram, padukuhan, or gurukula is a traditional education system in Hinduism that has existed since ancient times. Hinduism recognizes that education is an important aspect of human life. In Bali, the history of pasraman has been known since ancient times. In various folktales, there are many touches of education and the existence of padukuhan or pasraman, where Balinese generations gained knowledge in ancient times. This research aims to evaluate Kecak Dance learning in non-formal education in Pasraman Widya Santhi Sebatu Village and to know the process of instilling character education values through Kecak Dance learning in Pasraman Widya Santhi Sebatu Village. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the learning of the Kecak Dance at Pasraman Widya Santhi is effective through interactive and participatory teaching methods. This learning process not only enhances students' dance skills but also provides a deep understanding of Balinese cultural values. Moreover, the activities successfully instill character education values such as discipline, responsibility, hard work, creativity, and pride in local culture. Community support, a conducive learning environment, and the integration of arts and cultural education are key factors in the program’s success. This study concludes that the learning of the Kecak Dance at Pasraman Widya Santhi serves as an effective model of non-formal education in shaping skilled, character-driven, and culturally aware youth. The structured and culture-based learning process enriches students' artistic skills while fostering awareness of the importance of preserving Bali's cultural heritage

Abstract

This research examines the influence of Chinese cultural values on the development of Balinese painting, focusing on how cultural interactions have enriched its artistic identity. Using qualitative methods with a historical approach and visual analysis, the study identifies Chinese cultural elements such as Yin-Yang philosophy, cosmology, motifs like Nekara Pejeng, Chinese coins, dragons, and decorative techniques integrated into Balinese art. The findings reveal that these influences are most evident in the styles of Kamasan painting, where forms, colors, and decorative motifs reflect a process of acculturation. Balinese artists have successfully incorporated these Chinese elements into their works while preserving their cultural identity. This research highlights the importance of cultural exchange as a driving force in the evolution of Balinese painting, offering both academic and practical contributions to the understanding of how cross-cultural interactions can enhance artistic traditions.

Abstract

The background of this research stems from the importance of arts education as a foundation for developing children's emotional and social intelligence amid the challenges of globalization. Arts education not only serves as a vehicle for artistic expression but also as an effective medium for instilling values such as character, cooperation, empathy, and love for local and national culture. In the context of formal education, art is an important instrument for building children's adaptive, creative, and cultured personalities. This study aims to examine in depth the implementation of the Regional Art Lovers Community Program (Kopi Sianida) at SMP Negeri 1 Pupuan Tabanan and analyze its impact on students emotional and social development. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques. Analysis is conducted comprehensively to identify patterns of the program's impact on students, including emotional, social, and cultural preservation aspects. The research findings indicate that the Kopi Sianida program significantly enhances students artistic skills, communication, cooperation, discipline, and emotional management. Art activities based on local wisdom, such as dance, music, and dharma gita, not only strengthen cultural identity but also shape the character of the younger generation to be virtuous and resilient in facing the dynamics of the times. This program serves as a relevant and applicable model for art education that can be implemented in other schools.

Abstract

In recent years, artists from various cultures have increasingly drawn on the spiritual and philosophical principles of ancient tantra. This article explores the influence of ancient tantric traditions on contemporary Balinese arts. It employed an innovative art-based research methodology utilizing qualitative, interpretive, and practice-based research methods. These included observation, interviews, and document analysis while integrating theoretical frameworks, symbolic perspectives, and theo-aesthetic considerations. The research reveals how artists transform and reinterpret tantric themes in their work, highlighting the complex relationship between modern expressions and ancient inspirations. Balinese art, as the study shows, achieves beauty by blending opposites, such as masculine and feminine qualities, through the concept of lanang-wadon. By examining this topic, the research provides valuable insights into the evolving relationship between spirituality, creativity, and cultural exchange in Bali and the interconnected world. This study underscores the dynamic interplay between ancient traditions and contemporary artistic practices, showcasing a unique fusion that enriches both the art and its cultural context.

Abstract

The interaction between Chinese cultural values and Balinese traditions significantly influences Balinese painting, resulting in a unique artistic identity that merges visual forms and aesthetic ideas. This article examines how Chinese cultural values influence the evolution of traditional Balinese painting, with a focus on the processes of cultural adaptation and transformation. The aim is to identify and analyze how Chinese elements integrate into Balinese visual art while preserving local traditions. A qualitative research method is employed, combining a historical approach with a visual analysis of selected artworks. The research highlights various Chinese cultural influences, including the Yin-Yang philosophy, cosmological concepts, and visual motifs such as dragons, Barong Landung, Barong Ket, Chinese coins, Nekara Pejeng, Karang Sae, and Chinese-inspired patra decorations. It also examines coloring techniques, tools, and art materials that originate from or are inspired by Chinese practices. The findings indicate that Balinese artists creatively incorporate these elements through acculturation, blending them with local forms, colors, and symbols. Rather than being a passive adoption, this process results in a dynamic transformation that enriches the aesthetic and symbolic language of Balinese painting. The originality of the research lies in its systematic analysis of Chinese contributions to the visual and technical aspects of Balinese art, which are often overlooked in existing literature. The research enhances the understanding of cultural hybridity in Southeast Asian art and provides a valuable framework for studying cross-cultural influences in traditional artistic practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of interactive videos in overcoming visibility constraints and students' psychological anxiety in traditional dance learning. Employing a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and Likert scale questionnaires from 30 8th-grade students and 1 teacher at SMP Nasional Denpasar. The results show that the slow motion and multi-angle features significantly reduce visual distortion, thereby increasing the accuracy of students' complex movement interpretations. Psychopedagogically, the use of personal devices successfully created a "safe space" that frees students from the pressure of social surveillance. This drastically reduced academic anxiety and encouraged students to practice freely and independently. Through the self-assessment mechanism, an 86.7% increase in student self-confidence was recorded. This interactive video also proved effective in distributing the teacher's instructional load. In conclusion, this media is highly effective as a pedagogical solution to facilitate learning autonomy and eliminate mental barriers during practice. Learning time becomes more efficient, providing educators with ample guidance space to focus on the transfer of aesthetic values and soulful expressions (wirasa).

Abstract

This article examines how Jompet Kuswidananto formulates a counter-hegemonic aesthetics through installation works that combine spectral figures, sonic orchestration, and material icons to challenge dominant narratives of history and Javanese-Indonesian identity in the post-New Order era. The research data consist of in-depth interviews with Jompet (2024-2025), exhibition documentation, and secondary literature. The analysis focuses on Java's Machine: Phantasmagoria (2008), which presents a parade of “ghost soldiers” and hybridises marching-band sounds with Javanese symbols, and on After Voices (2016), which articulates political memory and collective movement. The findings reveal three principal counter-hegemonic aesthetic devices: (1) spectrality, which reactivates historical trauma and destabilises the authority of representation; (2) sonic-politics, which inserts irony into militaristic and nationalist forms of discipline; and (3) symbolic iconoclasm, exemplified by the use of crystal chandeliers as allegories for the collapse of colonial power. Drawing upon Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, Stuart Hall's concept of representation, and Claire Bishop's writings on installation art, this study demonstrates that Jompet’s works create a space for negotiating meaning, enriching the discourse of contemporary art in Southeast Asia. This article contributes to cultural studies by proposing the “Three S” matrix (spectrality, sonic politics, and symbolic iconoclasm) as an analytical framework for examining counter-hegemonic strategies in installation art
