Abstract

The creation of this Janger Dance refers to the concept of a dance based on the moral message contained in the philosophical meaning of Bhineka Tunggal Ika. One of the efforts to cultivate Bhineka Tunggal Ika is to incorporate this philosophy into a dance piece that will eventually serve as a tool for expressing the values and meaning of unifying the nation.Janger is performed by 16 dancers, 8 of whom are female and 8 of whom are male. As a social dance, Janger is expected to be able to encourage the younger generation to comprehend and implement the philosophy of Bhineka Tunggal Ika by utilizing the creative process in its creation effectively. The creation of the Janger dance "Nusantara Mahardika" implements the method of artistic creation described by Alma M. Hawkins in his book "Creating Through Dance.", which was translated by Y. Sumandiyo Hadi (2003) in Mencipta Lewat Tari. According to Alma M. Hawkins, the stages of art creation consist of exploration, improvisation, and forming."

Abstract

This article is a study to support the pre-production process of animation that takes the theme of Balinese children's songs. Studies that discuss the visualization of illustrations in animated Balinese children's songs are still rarely, even though Balinese children's songs are one of the most sought-after content on Youtube social media. The urgency of this research lies in the existence of animated visualizations that tend to follow the style of outside Bali causing the audience's representation of Balinese identity to shift. With the rapid development of digital media, the space for displaying animation is unlimited, and can be accessed from various places. This article aims to provide references and suggestions for traditional Balinese styles that can be developed as a reference in the animation pre-production process. Data obtained through observation, documentation, and literature, then analyzed to obtain a synthesis, namely the style of illustration design for animation production. Based on the data obtained, there is still a visual style of Balinese children's song animation that tends to follow the western style or minimalist style due to the lack of character deepening and manufacturing techniques. In conclusion, the animation of Balinese children's songs using Balinese illustration style needs to pay attention to Balinese visual styles such as Ubud, Batuan, and Kamasan, as a reference. This visual style can later be applied starting from the script, scene, character design and also the background that dominates the animation visualization.

Abstract

Nowadays the number of students engaged in criminal acts is alarming. In response to this, the role of parents, teachers in schools and the government is very important to strengthen character building, especially in the golden generation, namely students. Strengthening character education should not only be pursued through formal schools but also through non-formal and informal routes. Art studios can be a platform that offers an alternative to character building. However, in the process of transferring knowledge in the studio, several problems are encountered, including the low increase in students' ability to learn gender (Balinese musical instrument). For this reason, the gender wayang learning video was designed by implementing character education values for the millennial generation. The design of the gender wayang learning video to help build the character of the millennial generation uses a qualitative descriptive method. The data collection method was carried out through literature studies and field studies by interviewing the director and the production team involved in creating the learning video. In addition, an observation was made at one of the studios in Bali which has quite a lot of students, namely the Swati Swara Studio. The design and creation of a gender wayang learning video for the millennial generation began with conducting a target analysis for the millennial generation. Sanggar Swasti Swara is a place where one can find millennials who need a form of teaching using technology. For this reason, gender wayang learning video is the solution for this generation. This learning video is designed to be easy to access, namely having a good quality video that can be sent via cellphone and stored on the YouTube channel so that they are easy to access and distribute. The millennial generation at Sanggar Swasti Swara, in terms of learning style, prefers learning from practice, visuals, and a learning process that can be applied at home in groups and is fun. In addition, the educational values of the nation's character can be included in the text of the gender wayang learning video, namely religious values, tolerance, hard work, and love for the motherland.

Abstract

Urban Sketchers Bali (USK Bali) is a community engaged in capturing life's moments in the surrounding environment through sketches. Cultural moments become objects most often used as sketches. In the process, USK Bali members come from various professional backgrounds, from artists to those without an artistic background. Then there is an interesting phenomenon in transferring knowledge about art and culture. USK Bali members do not have a professional educator background, but the learning process and learning climate are conducive and enjoyable. The purpose of this study is to see the educational process that occurs both in its interactions and strategies. This research is qualitative with a netnographic approach, which summarizes and analyzes a sample of interactions on social media. The result is that naturally and instinctively, the educational process that is formed already uses four approaches in education: behavioristic, cognitivist, constructivist, and humanist. This process shows that in the spontaneous transfer of knowledge, someone already has all of these approaches even though they do not have a professional educator background.

Abstract

Gamelan Gambang is a Balinese musical ensemble that has a unique and distinctive characteristic of its musicality. Gamelan Gambang belongs to gamelan saih pitu (seven notes), where in one octave the tone consists of seven principal notes. Each of the instruments in the Gambang Kwanji Sempidi gamelan has a different concept of tone harmonization and tone modulation. The method used in this study uses a type of qualitative descriptive research method through data collection using observation, interview, discography, and documentation methods. While measuring the frequency of the tone using the Curltone application tool. Through this method, in the Gambang Kwanji Sempidi gamelan, harmony appears in the arrangement of the Gambang tones on each Gambang instrument. Harmony is related to the interval or pitch distance. The pitch distance between dAng (A) and dang (a) is called ngembat or octave, the distance between dAng (A) and dEng (e) is called ngepat or ngempyung (kwint), while the distance between dAng (A) and dOng (o) tones called nelu or quart. If they are hit together in one tone simultaneously, four forms of tone harmonization patterns occur (nelu, ngepat, and ngembat). The harmony playing pattern on the xylophone is supported by the gambang beater (panggul) which has been set in such a way. The xylophone panggul has a different distance between the right and left pairs of mallets. The left pair spans four notes, while the right pair spans five notes. The Gambang Kwanji modulation system, namely the transition from one basic tone to another, is called Sengkeran. In the game, there is a change of one note in the order of the notes used. This sengkeran is found in the Gambang Labdha and Manukaba songs.

Abstract

Typography is the art and technique of arranging letters in a way that makes the written language easier to read and more appealing, display, or distribute. Typography is not limited to Latin or Romaji and is seen in the anime industry, especially anime, where it is used in kanji. Bungou Stray Dogs is an anime that adapts old literature to a younger audience and is a perfect study subject for kanji typography. Despite its manga and anime adaptations, it still sticks to its "old literature" antics. Hence, the focus of the typographic study in this article is solely on the anime version of the Bungou Stray Dogs manga, and specifically on the scene in the anime where the words "rashomon: tenma Tengai" are presented utilizing specific typographic approaches.

Abstract

  Old Javanese literature, especially Kakawin Siwaratrikalpa, has an essential role among the Hindu community in Bali, not only because of its captivating story elements but also because it is essential for human life as it contains artistic values, religious values, moral teachings (ethics), manners, character education, philosophy, law, and morals. Tri Hita Karana is a concept of balancing the relationship between humans and God, humans and others, and humans and their natural environment to achieve prosperity and harmony in life in the world. Human life has undergone significant changes due to the changing times. The demands of modern life have brought human behavior to problems that need attention. The advancement of science and technology has caused a shift in social values, which has led humans to promiscuity, moral decline, the conflict between religious communities, lifestyle changes, environmental degradation, exploitation of natural resources, and even environmental destruction. This research is qualitative descriptive research by applying the concept of Tri Hita Karana. The source of the data is scientific, meaning that apart from observing texts, researchers are trying to observe and understand empirical phenomena directly in people's lives. The theory used is the theory of Human Relations. The results of the discussion prove that the three parts of the Tri Hita Karana concept are always related and cannot be separated. Humans, as the main actors in life, must continue to seek and strive for a safe, peaceful, and happy life.
