Abstract

When national education policy in Indonesia first included art as a content of the formal learning curriculum, art learning in schools has generally underwent many developments. The dynamics of its development also raise conceptual and practical issues, one of which is about the basic paradigm of art education in higher education (universities) that prepare art teachers in public schools. This research aims to find the educational philosophy that underlies and emphasizes the concept of art education in Indonesia so that it can guide the formulation of the curriculum content of art lessons in schools. This research uses the hermeneutic-philosophical method through three steps: finding and describing concepts, systematizing concepts, and then testing the level of explanation of the resulting concept system. Based on the results of the research, it is known that the philosophy of art education in Indonesia refers to the cultural values of the Indonesian nation formulated in the philosophy of Pancasila and the opening of the 1945 Constitution. The paradigm of art education in Indonesia must also be based on the philosophical concepts of Pancasila. The implication is that the concepts of formal art education in Indonesia, which include goals, curriculum content, students and educators, as well as the socio-cultural environment, must integrate the values of Pancasila.

Abstract

This research on traditional arts related to religion or belief aims to uncover the life cycle flow of the Makassarese people through Rate's singing. The specific objectives of this research are to answer the following questions: (1) What is the function of Rate' singing? (2) Why is Rate's singing currently rarely performed in Makassar ethnic communities? (3) How can the regeneration of Rate's singing be achieved? This ethnographic qualitative research employs various data collection methods, including observation, interviews, and document studies. The research was conducted in Makassar and Gowa cities. The results indicate the following: (1) The function of Rate' in the Makassarese community is primarily as a medium for prayer, an invitation for good fortune, a rejection of bad luck, a confirmation of customary procedures, and a means of ethical education for the next generation. Rate' singing in sacred Makassarese activities aims to bring people closer to God; (2) The period of turmoil in Sulawesi, starting with the arrival of Japan and followed by the struggle for Indonesian independence, influenced the continuity of traditional art in South Sulawesi, particularly Makassarese art. After the security in South Sulawesi gradually recovered, the community began to focus on improving their welfare, viewing cultural arts, especially traditional ceremonies, as wasteful and non-materially beneficial; (3) Rate' singing faced near extinction as the nobility, or karaeng descendants, began to lose their traditional culture. The remaining Pa'Rate' are few and elderly, with no successors to inherit their knowledge. As a form of literature, the traditional way of conveying Rate' is known only to older generations. The transmission of ma'Rate's skills is conducted within the Parate family itself.

Abstract

Global socio-cultural changes have significantly impacted traditional cultural life in various regions. In Banyuwangi, East Java, global cultural changes have influenced the lifestyle of the Osing community, the indigenous people of Banyuwangi. One of the cultural changes among the Osing is the shift in economic systems from agrarian-maritime to industrial. This change has eroded the socio-cultural space of traditional performing arts. The situation has led traditional artists, especially Osing traditional musicians, to face an existential crisis regarding their roles and functions. Traditional art performances, particularly traditional music, which used to be their space for expression in society, are now rare. This has led to a reduction in the intensity and frequency of work for Osing traditional musicians. This research aims to demonstrate and explain the new role of Osing traditional musicians in preserving and reaffirming their existence through their roles as music teachers in formal schools. The study adopts an ethnomusicological approach using observation, interviews, and documentation methods. Ethnographic analysis of the data indicates that the new role of Osing traditional musicians as music teachers in formal schools has emerged due to the limited role they play in traditional performances. In such circumstances, a paradoxical situation arises. On one hand, industrialization weakens traditional arts, leading to an existential crisis for musicians as stage performers. On the other hand, the government's awareness of the need to preserve cultural identity in the global arena requires strengthening cultural heritage through education, which cannot solely rely on formal school teachers. This is where Osing traditional musicians seize the opportunity to take on roles as teachers in formal schools. As a result, the role of traditional musicians remains relevant, and the inheritance of Osing traditional music culture is preserved and sustainable.

Abstract

In the digital age, local Indonesian performing arts face both challenges and opportunities in terms of visibility and preservation. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of trending local Indonesian performing arts videos on the TikTok platform and to understand their demographics. The study employs a quantitative content analysis method to examine the representation and popularity of local Indonesian performing arts in trending TikTok videos. A sample of TikTok videos showcasing local dance, music, and theater from various regions of Indonesia was analyzed for themes and engagement metrics. The findings reveal that (1) Generation Z is the dominant force shaping the digital stage on TikTok, (2) performing arts creators are predominantly female, (3) local dance accompanied by a blend of traditional and modern music is a key strategy for high engagement on TikTok, (4) costumes have minimal impact on video engagement, (5) standard shooting and tilting are the most commonly used video styles, and (6) popular performing arts demographics are primarily from Java (West Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta). This research underscores the role of TikTok in revitalizing and disseminating local Indonesian performing arts while highlighting the implications for cultural preservation and audience engagement in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the paradigms of the younger and older generations regarding the commodification process of mask art in Bobung, Yogyakarta. The research was conducted through a descriptive qualitative approach with a multiple case study design. Data sources included informants, locations, events, and documents/archives collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and content analysis. Data validity was tested using triangulation techniques and informant reviews. Interactive data analysis techniques were employed, involving data reduction, data display, and verification stages. The study findings indicate that the older and younger generations have different perspectives on the preservation and inheritance of mask art in Bobung, Yogyakarta. The older generation believes that the effective preservation of mask art should not alter the cultural order inherited from ancestors over generations. The younger generation, on the other hand, views successful preservation of mask art as needing to adapt to the developments and demands of the times, thus requiring a commodification process. The opposing paradigms, both in practice and theory, can serve as references and foundations for society, academics, practitioners, and the government on how to preserve cultural arts in an ideal and sustainable manner.

Abstract

Natural dyes come from natural sources through certain processes used in several arts and crafts to produce environmentally friendly products. This research aims to conduct experiments on applying natural dyes to woven pandan products in Tipang Village, North Sumatra Province. This aim was to develop sustainable methods for woven pandan leaf products. The research method uses an experimental process with a practice-led research approach to applying natural dyes in the context of arts and crafts. Experimental samples were obtained by staining using a type of mordant group, namely tegeran and tingi wood extraction, as well as a container group from fermented tarum leaves (Indigofera). The number of samples used was 6, with 1 sample without color, two with tegeran wood dye, two with tingi wood, and 1 with arum leaves. The analysis and evaluation process uses visual analysis assisted by greyscale image assessment via the Matlab application. The findings show that the application of natural dyes of the mordant group with fixation using lime has a more intense and even color quality with an R.G.B value of around 0.5 - 0.6 or an index value of around 135 -143. Meanwhile, natural dyes in the vessel class have uneven colors, so further experiments must be conducted to produce good colors. Thus, natural dyes from the mordant group can be applied to woven products made from pandan leaves.

Abstract

The Salonreng dance represents the cultural identity of the Makassar tribe. Despite its rich cultural significance, Salonreng dance is rarely witnessed and in demand by the public, as well is a lack of deep understanding of the meaning and values contained in Salonreng dance. This study aims to analyze the performance structure and social meaning of Salonreng dance better to understand its role in the cultural context of Makassar. The research method used is qualitative with an ethnocoreological approach, considering the cultural setting of the Salonreng dance. Direct observation was carried out by attending ritual activities; selected informants included actors, panrita (ritual leaders), dancers, pinati (ritual equipment organizers), local artists, and traditional leaders. Data collection was carried out through documentation of Salonreng dance performances in the form of ritual videos, books, and journals. The study results show that the Salonreng dance is an important element of Makassar's cultural heritage, which has high aesthetic, social, and spiritual value. The findings include Salonreng dance movements, criteria for dancers who are considered spiritually clean, accompanying musicians, audiences, dancers' clothing, dance floor patterns, and the transformation of the performance venue. The contribution of this research includes the enrichment of academic literature and the provision of research methodologies that can be used as a reference that supports the preservation and development of the Salonreng dance so that it becomes an important part of Makassar's cultural heritage and develops in the future.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in the development of design motifs for Bakaran Batik. This study investigates the methodological gaps in the production process, especially in the early stages of motif design, where traditional methods require a long time to design motifs, making them ineffective for clients with high demand and limited time. Qualitative methodology was used to collect data from two cross-generation batik companies. The data collection process included interviews, observations conducted before and after the application of AI, and literature analysis. Since 2023, AI technology for motif design has been applied in the Bakaran batik industry. AI generative motif design simplifies the batik pattern design process, allowing for a more measurable production process in terms of batik production time. The findings show a significant reduction in the time required for design and an increase in motif diversity. Batik artisans in Bakaran responded positively to the use of AI because it showed an increase in motif diversity and did not replace labor-intensive labor. However, the use of AI machines in motif design is less appropriate for certain clients who prioritize the motif design process through local wisdom such as fasting rituals, meditation or special inspiration from their batik makers. The use of AI has an impact on the Bakaran Batik industry including the potential for the growth of an innovative and sustainable economic system for its craftsmen considering the rarity of the younger generation who are engaged in the batik industry in Bakaran. The integration of AI in the motif creation process allows the batik business to preserve heritage motifs while increasing work productivity and overcoming creative challenges during motif design. This initiative ensures the long-term survival and expansion of Bakaran batik in the digital era.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics is currently also a bridge for the emergence of new strategies in the mathematics learning process. The aim is to make mathematics easier to understand by finding cultural facts in everyday life, such as in the Gandrung Lombok dance. Until now, there has been no study of ethnomathematical analysis of the various movements of the Gandrung Lombok dance that can be used in the learning process. This research aims to explain the ethnomathematics aspects of various Gandrung Lombok dance movements. The research used a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic approach involving participant observation, interviews, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with maestros and performers to explain and describe various mathematical phenomena in various Gandrung Lombok dance movements. Then, the collected field data was analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach, and the validity of the data used in this research was tested using triangulation techniques. The research results explain that counting and measuring activities are performed in various Gandrung Lombok movements. Counting activities are carried out repeatedly by counting the numbers one to eight accompanied by accompanying music. Measurement activities in the presentation of Gandrung Lombok dance movements are implemented in the presentation of movement patterns, including hand, foot, and floor patterns. Ethnomathematics related to measurement is carried out by applying the geometric concepts of semicircles, circles, and triangles. The triangle concept is the most dominant concept in various Gandrung Lombok movements, which can be seen in the shape of the hand and foot patterns. One of the findings in this research explains that the concept of triangular geometry is an important element in building the aesthetic image of Gandrung Lombok, which needs further proof.
