Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of natural material-based ecoprint techniques in improving students' creativity in fine arts learning at MTsN 1 Mataram. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with students who participated in fine arts learning as the research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The study was carried out through the stages of planning, preparation, implementation, and evaluation. During the learning process, students were introduced to ecoprint techniques and practiced them directly by using natural materials such as leaves and flowers as media for creating artworks.The results show that the application of natural material-based ecoprint techniques can improve students' creativity, as indicated by increased participation, exploration skills, as well as the diversity and originality of the artworks produced. In addition, this learning activity provided a contextual and enjoyable experience and fostered students' awareness of the importance of protecting the environment. Therefore, the ecoprint technique can serve as an innovative alternative in fine arts learning that focuses not only on the final product, but also on the creative process and the development of students' character

Abstract

This study documents Baris Arug, a traditional Sasak dance from Longserang Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency, and examines the character values embedded in its historical background, performance structure, symbolic elements, and sociocultural functions. It also explores the dance’s pedagogical potential for elementary education. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from October to December 2024 through observations of rehearsals and community performances, semi-structured interviews with 17 purposively selected informants—one dance elder and leader, four senior dancers, four musicians, three community leaders, and five younger members—and document analysis. The data were analyzed iteratively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that community oral histories associate Baris Arug with the collective joy of farmers after successfully cultivating new agricultural land. Performed by thirteen male dancers in a commander-led formation, the dance embodies togetherness, courage, discipline, hard work, leadership, responsibility, and gratitude through marching movements, costumes, masks, farming tools, music, and ritual offerings. Baris Arug also functions as community entertainment, a means of strengthening social cohesion and cultural identity, and a medium for transmitting local values across generations. These findings indicate that Baris Arug offers culturally grounded material for local-content and extracurricular learning in elementary schools. However, because the study did not examine classroom implementation, its educational contribution should be understood as a pedagogical potential that requires further development and empirical evaluation.
