Abstract

Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. This article reviews the diversity of the archipelago's batik, from coastal to inland areas. The discussion begins with the history of batik development in Indonesia, including the influence of various cultures such as Chinese, Indian, Arabic and European. Next, the article discusses the distinctive characteristics of coastal batik, which is generally brightly colored with flora and fauna motifs, and inland batik, which tends to use dark colors with geometric motifs. The differences in philosophy, manufacturing techniques, and materials used in coastal and inland batik are also described. The article also highlights some famous batik centers such as Pekalongan, Cirebon, Lasem, Yogyakarta, and Solo, and explains the characteristics of each. Efforts to preserve and develop batik as a cultural heritage and creative economic potential are also discussed. By reviewing the richness of the archipelago's batik, this article aims to increase public appreciation of Indonesia's cultural heritage and encourage preservation and innovation in the art of batik.

Abstract

Neocolonialism is a form of economic, political and cultural domination of developing countries in developing countries without direct colonization. This article shows how neo-colonialism affects the lives of indigenous peoples whose local values ​​differ from global values. This article also describes how indigenous peoples maintain their cultural identity through resistance, adaptation and transformation strategies. This article uses a qualitative approach to the case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations and document analysis. The research results show that indigenous peoples face various challenges and pressures from neo-colonialism, such as exclusion, discrimination, exploitation and assimilation. However, indigenous peoples also have the strength and wisdom to preserve their local values, such as solidarity, cooperation, harmony and sustainability. This article advocates giving indigenous peoples the space and rights to decide their destiny according to local values.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of children's engagement in artistic activities on their cognitive development. The research examined three key aspects of cognitive development: critical thinking skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. A sample of elementary school students was divided into two groups: one group participated regularly in art-based activities, while the control group did not.The results revealed that children involved in the arts demonstrated significantly higher scores on tests of critical thinking skills, such as the ability to analyze information, draw conclusions, and evaluate arguments, compared to the control group. Additionally, the art-engaged children exhibited greater creativity, as evidenced by higher scores on measures of fluency, flexibility, and originality of ideas. Furthermore, the data analysis indicated that the art-involved children had better problem-solving skills, displaying enhanced abilities in identifying problems, generating alternative solutions, and evaluating outcomes.These findings provide empirical evidence for the positive influence of children's participation in the arts on the development of crucial cognitive skills. The implications of this research suggest that integrating arts-based experiences into children's learning environments can support their academic achievement by enhancing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to investigate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between arts engagement and cognitive development.
