Abstract

This research aims to analyze how the choreography of the Laman Silat Dance, created by Sunardi, embodies the expression of Malay-Riau culture through a combination of Malay-Riau silat movements with 'contrast' choreographic techniques. Using a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. The analysis focuses on the elements of choreography, including movement, music, costume, makeup, floor design, and lighting, as creative expression. The research findings reveal that the Laman Silat Dance expresses Malay-Riau culture through silat movements, clothing, and Malay-Riau music. The ‘contrasting’ yet dynamic choreographic composition depicts Malay-Riau culture's ‘contrasting’ yet dynamic richness. The Malay-Riau musical instruments used, poetic narration, and energetic movements with accents on the shoulders, head, and hands enrich this dance's aesthetic and narrative dimensions. Thus making it a representation of the cultural expression of Malay-Riau silat. This research contributes to the academic discourse in performing arts by highlighting the role of choreography as an artistic expression of Malay-Riau culture. The strength of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of artistic elements as cultural expression, which offers a foundation for understanding the balance between contrast in choreography and contemporary movement in Malay-Riau culture. In addition, this research opens up opportunities for future studies to explore the influence of the Laman Silat Dance on the younger generation, especially in terms of how this dance can instill pride and cultural awareness in the midst of globalization.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Malay ornaments in the Asserayah Al-Hasyimiyah Palace, Siak Sri Indrapura Regency, to uncover their visual forms and symbolic meanings. A qualitative descriptive approach combined with semiotic methods was employed to understand these ornaments' artistic elements, functions, and cultural values. The findings reveal that the palace's ornaments feature various motifs, including flora (jasmine, ylang-ylang, roses), fauna (dragon heads), Arabic calligraphy, and geometric patterns. Each ornament carries symbolic meanings that reflect Malay cultural values, such as honesty (mangosteen tree), noble character (a cluster of garden flowers), and honor (wall crown). Beyond their decorative function, these ornaments also serve as a medium of visual communication that embodies Malay cultural identity. This study underscores the importance of preserving traditional ornaments as cultural heritage while enhancing public understanding of Malay art. These findings are relevant for supporting arts and cultural education and enriching studies on traditional architecture.

Abstract

Nirmana is a mandatory basic competency for academic artists. Strengthening the basics of Nirmana is compulsory so that fine artists and designers maintain their bargaining position in society. One of the rising media to learn Nirmana is teaching videos available on online platforms such as YouTube. With the many types and styles of Nirmana learning videos available on YouTube, a study to analyze which type of videos are effective in learning Nirmana is needed. This study uses content analysis to classify videos that convey information about Nirmana into four groups: live demonstration videos, animated videos, conventional lecture videos, and tutorials (Step-by-step). To determine the video's effectiveness, the responses from viewers were analyzed using a pragmatic approach. From the analysis results, teaching videos in the form of live demonstrations, animations, and tutorials proved to be the most effective in assisting viewers to learn about Nirmana. Videos with these concepts can convey information in an engaging, clear, and visually understandable way, thus improving student understanding more effectively. Integrating the appropriate teaching videos into the Nirmana curriculum, such as live demonstrations for practical projects and animated videos or tutorials or theory, can help students understand Nirmana better.

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

This study analyzes the symbolic meaning of Loga statues in the Bada Valley through the interpretive, symbolic anthropology approach of Clifford Geertz and the symbolic interpretation of Victor Turner. Using Geertz's theory, the perspective views Loga statues as cultural "texts" that reflect the worldview, values, and local identity of the Bada community. Turner's perspective views Loga statues with an emphasis on the role of statues in the context of rituals as symbols of social structure and community solidarity. The research method uses qualitative descriptive methods with an ethnographic basis; the research location is in Pada village, Bada Valley, Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi, and data collection methods are obtained through observation and in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that Loga statues function as symbols that connect people with their ancestors, maintain and strengthen social ties, and reproduce cultural values ​​through rituals. The combination of these two theories provides a comprehensive insight into how the symbols in Loga statues play a role in maintaining cultural sustainability and strengthening the identity of the Bada community. Loga statues are not only artifacts but also active agents in the social and spiritual life of the people in the Bada Valley.

Abstract

One of the main challenges in understanding contemporary paintings is their high degree of abstraction. Each painting simplifies and alters its subject's form, with varying degrees of similarity to objects from nature. This study aims to examine how the degree of abstraction in contemporary painting subjects affects visitors' appreciative responses using an aesthetic psychology approach. The study employs a mixed-methods approach with a multiple-case study design. Semarang Gallery and Sangkring Art Space, both reputable galleries known for their artistic collections and high visitor numbers, were selected for this study. An evaluative survey was conducted with visitors at each gallery using a standardized set of operational questions. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to calculate the average appreciation scores for each structure within the aesthetic psychology framework. Qualitative data from interviews and observations were employed to explain and enrich the survey findings. A cross-case analysis was carried out to identify the similarities and differences in the tendencies of aesthetic psychological structures across the two galleries. The findings indicate that three types of contemporary paintings, each with a varying degree of subject abstraction, were appreciated by visitors at both Semarang Gallery and Sangkring Art Space across the affective, perceptual, and cognitive dimensions. Affective responses emerged as the most dominant, followed by perceptual and cognitive responses, with an insignificant difference level (p < 0.05). The finding suggests that the degree of abstraction in contemporary paintings does not significantly affect the public's ability to appreciate them, particularly in affective, perceptual, and interpretative responses.
