Jugong is a traditional fishing boat that holds great significance for the fishing community in Karangtalun Village, Cilacap. It is valued for its aesthetic qualities that are expressed through its unique characteristics. This paper explores the functional value of the jugong, the process of its creation by the fishermen, and the artistic expression involved in its design, with the ultimate goal of revealing the aesthetic value of the jugong in general. In order to approach, understand, and reveal the aesthetic values of the jugong, which comes from the village fishermen as cultural actors, this research uses the ethnoart perspective as a method. In order to reveal the functional values, we use functional aesthetic theory as an approach method. In addition, to understand how fishermen create jugong, we use mimetic style theory and the aesthetic theory of expression to reveal the fishermen's attitude and behavior during the process of jugong creation. The study results show that the aesthetic value of the jugong is reflected in the traditions that impose strict rules on the fishermen. The community also appreciates the sensitive attitude of the fishermen towards their cultural products by respecting their identity and pride, which includes their aesthetics.

Resilience in this research is intended to maintain Tortor Sirittak Hotang Simalungun by developing dance learning media, which is utilized primarily in the Unimed FBS Dance Education Study Program. This research aims to add reference material for teaching as well as an effort to maintain the traditional art of Simalungun dance, which is feared to be drifting away with the times, where today's young generation does not know or is not interested in learning traditional dance art. Tortor Sirittak Hotang is a typical Simalungun dance depicting the Simalungun people's work activities as rattan farmers. This activity inspired the people of Simalungun to create a dance (Tortor) that tells how people live in search of rattan (spiritual hosting). Tortor Sirittak Hotang began to appear around the 1990s at the Rondang Bintang Party. Tortor Sirittak Hotang is not yet widely known to the younger generation of Simalungun, nor has it attracted their interest in learning more about it. This digital technology-based Simalungun dance learning media product results from research and development (R&D). Data collection through needs analysis, literacy studies, and documentation. Data analysis was obtained by distributing questionnaires to validate research products. This research indicates that the Simalungun dance media product, validated by material and media validators, is very suitable for use as a dance learning media for FBS Unimed Dance Education Study Program students.

Recent scholarly discussions have robustly endorsed collaborative learning in educational settings but also highlight a significant gap in understanding its effects, particularly in the design disciplines of Indonesian higher education. This research aims to address this gap by investigating the impact of collaborative learning, specifically structured to incorporate fundamental visual elements and principles (FVEVP), on students' comprehension and application in three-dimensional design—an essential area of design education. The study integrates an immersive design workshop with questionnaire surveys to evaluate student perceptions of the pedagogical strategy's effectiveness, advantages, and challenges. The findings demonstrate significant benefits of collaborative learning, including advanced learning processes, enhanced innovative thinking, elevated student confidence, and improved project efficiency, all attained cost-effectively. These benefits contribute to greater student satisfaction and superior educational results. Nonetheless, the study also highlights challenges, such as the unequal distribution of workloads and extended decision-making times, which emphasize the need for structured management strategies to bolster the educational effectiveness of collaborative learning. By providing critical insights into the intricate effects of collaborative learning in design education, the study offers valuable contributions to refining educational practices and directing future research.

The performance art entitled Rhythm 0 by Marina Abramovic is controversial, raising various questions regarding its power and influence in the context of art. This research aims to illustrate the microphysical approach to power in the performing arts Rhythm 0, where power emerges from fear and shifts to the dominance of the ideology of power. A qualitative approach with visual analysis techniques was used in this research to explain the phenomenon of this performing arts from a very subjective view. This created illustration entitled "Psychedelic" reveals false powers in the form of intense hallucinations involving auditory, visual and feeling experiences in the Rhythm 0. The basic principles of art were used as the basis for creating this illustrative work. In this case, the use of gold leaf, peony flower elements and halos in the illustration also has a solid symbolic value, so semiotics is used as a basis for giving meaning to the symbols used. The results of this research show that the apparent power contained in the Rhythm 0 performing arts can be revealed through an illustration entitled "Psychedelic", which describes the context of the artwork in depth. This research contributes to understanding Rhythm 0's artwork and enriches knowledge about using psychedelic illustrations as a medium for artistic expression. This research also highlights how these illustrations can communicate complex themes in the performing arts, strengthening our understanding of power dynamics in arts contexts.

One of Indonesia's growing creative sectors is the Batik industry. The development of the batik industry not only benefits artisans or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) but serves as a creative industry supporting the national economy. This has prompted the government to implement policies to ensure the growth of the batik industry, including promoting innovation and creativity. The author sees opportunities to create contemporary batik in line with these government policies. The term "contemporary" is defined as modern and current. Contemporary batik is characterized by motifs and styles that are not bound by specific rules, making it tailored to consumer preferences. One example of contemporary batik creation, the basis for this research, is brushstroke batik. Brushstroke batik refers to batik motifs created using a brush to apply wax during the batik process, resulting in distinctive patterns. Based on the researcher's observations at a brushstroke batik production house, the coloring process involves basic techniques such as dipping and brushing. However, there is a trend towards using a variety of colors in one batik design. The research identifies the potential to develop designs by focusing on the composition of brushstroke motifs as the main element and exploring various color combinations. This development aims to give novelty in the scientific realm of contemporary textile design, especially in batik innovation towards a modern direction. The development will be carried out using visual composition and coloring layering techniques. This research employs a qualitative method, utilizing literature review, observation, characteristic study, and experimentation for data collection.

Basic human needs, including clothing, have become commodities in the hands of industrial players, leading to a culture of consumption and negatively impacting the environment. The fast fashion industry presents numerous challenges requiring human-based solutions to reduce ecological damage. One solution is reintroducing past clothing practices and prioritizing environmentally friendly materials and techniques. Using natural materials with minimal environmental impact in clothing production is becoming more popular. One ecologically friendly material is natural dye, a traditional practice of the Dayak Iban community in Kapuas Hulu Regency, West Kalimantan. This article employs qualitative methods and literature studies to describe the natural dyeing process in the Dayak Iban community, emphasizing the continuation of tradition. The experience of researchers who have lived with indigenous communities in Menua Sadap village can provide valuable objective observation and interview data. In the Dayak Iban tradition, the makers of naturally dyed cloth are predominantly adult women, referred to as Inai. This article describes the local knowledge of the Inai regarding natural dyeing and how this process can solve the environmental damage caused by fast fashion. The indigenous peoples are highly concerned about their climate and environmental conditions as their livelihoods depend on the natural resources where they live. This was then strengthened by customary law so that environmental damage in Menua Sadap occurred less quickly than in urban areas, which often happens.
