Abstract

This research aimed to identify the specific methodological features of training teachers in artistic disciplines, focusing on the specialty 025 “Musical Art” within the context of European integration processes. This study aimed to analyse existing educational and professional programmes, evaluate the quality of specialist training, and examine the incorporation and effectiveness of innovative and interactive technologies in forming the professional competencies of future educators in culture and arts. A qualitative and quantitative analysis was conducted using data from educational programmes at Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, the National Academy of Managers of Culture and Arts, and Lviv National Academy of Arts. The study included the examination of student surveys, institutional reports, and labour market statistics to assess educational practices, digital technology integration, and alignment with European standards. The impact of external factors such as martial law and the COVID-19 pandemic on the educational process was also considered. The results indicate that while foundational professional competencies and general skills are developed effectively, there is insufficient integration of innovative technologies, “soft” skills, and interdisciplinary approaches. The study revealed challenges in distance learning implementation, resource limitations, and the need for enhanced cooperation with international institutions. The use of virtual and augmented reality and dual education methods remains underutilized. The findings provide a basis for updating educational programmes and methodological support to improve training quality and competitiveness of art discipline educators in the European educational space.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how the indigenous knowledge lexicon of Balinese undagi (traditional architects) in architecture can be transferred into visual cinematography to preserve cultural heritage, with a focus on engaging broader audiences. Employing an iconographic approach, the research analyzes the documentary Calaccitra Undagi Mahottama: Biografi I Gusti Made Gede (1843-1940) through three stages: pre-iconographic identification of visual motifs, iconographic interpretation of thematic meanings, and iconological assessment of cultural significance. Results reveal that Balinese architectural lexicons—such as Tri Mandala, Sanga Mandala, and CWSGR—are effectively abstracted into cinematic frames via intermediality, using symbolic natural imagery and spatial grids rather than physical structures to convey aesthetic and philosophical values. The study concludes that visual cinematography offers a potent medium for preserving architectural heritage by translating static spatial concepts into dynamic narratives, fostering continuity of traditional knowledge, particularly among younger generations, though its efficacy hinges on audience reception and contextual adaptation.

Abstract

Wayang purwa is a product of Javanese culture which constructs a world of symbols. The depiction of wayang figures does not represent human figures but the symbolisation of human characters and qualities. The research goal is to reveal hidden messages of the four punakawan wayang: Sêmar, Garèng, Pétruk, and Bagong, who are loyal followers of Arjuna in Javanese wayang purwa. Javanese puppets are indeed sourced from Mahabharata, but the four figures are additional figures from the creators. The research method is explorative qualitative and based on iconographical theory. The results of the study show that Sêmar symbolises ‘spirituality’, a Javanese knight must have a high level of spirituality; Garèng symbolises ‘personal awareness’, a knight must have awareness as an imperfect being; Pétruk symbolises a ‘visionary’, a knight must be able to look far into the future, and Bagong symbolise ‘holistic awareness’, a knight must also have empathy for his surroundings. Wayang should be understood as a world of symbols, but positioning the iconography of wayang from a representation of a human figure to the symbolisation of ‘character and aptitude’ is an ‘extreme interpretation’ within the boundaries of an interpretative study. This is a way of understanding Javanese culture in a cosmological context; what appears is not real because what is essential is invisible.

Abstract

This article examines aesthetic experience as a central focus in art research, a field complicated by its inherent subjective and objective dimensions. It proposes a phenomenological methodological framework designed to balance the objective analysis of artworks with a subjective understanding of individual experience. The recommended methods are grounded in core phenomenological principles, including an emphasis on lived experience, the application of epoché (the bracketing of preconceptions), phenomenological reductions for uncovering essences, and the description of essential experiences. The article demonstrates that phenomenological approaches can systematically accommodate the depth of subjective experience and the personal nature of art, while maintaining the analytical rigor essential for academic research. Notably, this article presents a coherent methodological approach for examining aesthetic experience, effectively bridging the gap between scientific rigor and aesthetic sensibility, and thereby fostering a richer, deeper understanding of how art is experienced and interpreted.

Abstract

Poetry musicalization represents a creative synthesis of literary and musical arts that can enrich language and arts learning in secondary schools. This study analyzes the creative process of poetry musicalization as an intermedial adaptation and examines its pedagogical value for developing students’ linguistic, musical, and character competencies. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten Indonesian and Javanese language teachers at SMA and SMK in Central Java, supported by document analysis and observations of musicalized versions of Sapardi Djoko Damono’s Hujan Bulan Juni and Goenawan Mohamad’s Z on YouTube. The findings reveal that the musicalization process involves poem selection, semantic interpretation, melodic and rhythmic composition, arrangement, and audio-visual realization. Classroom implementation requires active collaboration between teachers and students and contributes to improved language proficiency, artistic appreciation, creativity, and self-confidence. In conclusion, poetry musicalization has strong potential as an integrative learning method that balances cognitive and affective domains, promotes contextual and meaningful learning, and supports interdisciplinary classroom practices.

Abstract

This article explores the integration of typography in promoting sustainability through a qualitative case study of the TYPO-COP28 initiative conducted at the University of Sharjah’s Visual Communication department in 2023. This study examines how typography can function as an active, participatory tool for sustainability advocacy within educational settings. Through structured research-based pedagogical methods, 16 undergraduate students created typographic designs addressing environmental and cultural sustainability themes, demonstrating that well-designed pedagogical frameworks enable emerging designers to contribute meaningfully to environmental discourse. Analysis of student designs revealed primary thematic approaches: renewable energy integration (75%), cultural heritage bridging (68%), and material sustainability consciousness (100%). Audience reception data demonstrated high impact, with 82% perceiving designs as effective climate communication and 65% sharing designs on social media. The pedagogical framework generated significant learning outcomes, including increasing conceptual sophistication and internalization of environmental responsibility as a core design principle. This research provides an evidence-based framework for integrating sustainability and design activism into visual communication education.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of avant-garde cinema in redefining Indonesian film aesthetics, focusing on its role in challenging dominant cultural and technological narratives in the digital era. Presented at the Cine Future: Radical Cinema on Future Perspective exhibition, the research identifies a critical gap in mainstream cinema’s limited engagement with narratives evolving alongside rapid advancements in projection technology and digital reproduction. The study is anchored in the experimental works of film students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia’s Film and Television Study Program, showcased in the Cine Future exhibition, which exemplifies avant-garde cinema’s potential to reinterpret traditional narratives. With the Practice-led Research methodology, this research integrates artistic practice with critical analysis, allowing student filmmakers to explore the complexities of the digital age through creative expression. Findings indicate that avant-garde cinema enables the construction of new, culturally rooted narratives by merging historical aesthetics with modern technology, providing students with a framework for critiquing and interpreting social realities. This research contributes to broader discussions on avant-garde cinema’s relevance in academic and creative fields. It demonstrates its significance in fostering critical dialogue and evolving cinema as a dynamic medium for cultural reflection. The study underscores the value of incorporating avant-garde methods within film education to prepare students for a rapidly changing cinematic landscape.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Sundanese dance learning model based on Experiential Learning in the Outcome-Based Education curriculum, to enhance the quality of arts education. The urgency of this study stems from the limited exploration of the integration between Outcome-Based Education, Experiential Learning, and cultural preservation in Sundanese dance learning, despite its importance in achieving quality education goals in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal. The method employed is a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative), utilizing data collection techniques that include interviews, observations, and surveys of students, lecturers, and dance teachers. The results indicate that the application of this model can enhance student engagement, creativity, and cultural understanding, with a statistically significant average increase of 35.35%. This model also strengthens the preservation of Sundanese cultural values through direct learning experiences. Research recommendations include the adoption of similar models in other art study programs, the development of a more responsive curriculum, and the use of digital technology to support innovative and sustainable learning.

Abstract

Traditional dance, as part of cultural heritage, not only functions as an artistic expression but also as a medium for transmitting values, knowledge, and a society’s collective memory through structured symbols. One of the main challenges in the preservation of traditional arts is the change in the mechanism of cultural inheritance, which has undergone a shift from communal and hereditary patterns to patterns that are increasingly fragmented due to modernization and social change. This condition demands a more in-depth study of how cultural values can be maintained and transformed in a relevant way for the younger generation. This study examines the dimension of didactic values in the inheritance of the Tari Kiamat, particularly in the context of traditional marriage ceremonies in Keratuan Darah Putih, a customary institution with historical significance in Lampung society. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, field notes, and documentation studies, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model. The results of the study show that the Tari Kiamat, contains didactic values such as sacredness, exclusivity, leadership, responsibility, tolerance, wisdom, and politeness. These values not only regulate social relations among indigenous peoples but also serve as ethical models for younger generations. In the context of education, didactic values should be integrated as a learning resource grounded in local wisdom to strengthen students’ cultural literacy, character, and identity.

Abstract

This paper examines the development of Albanian operatic creativity in Kosovo through a musicological analysis of Goca e Kaçanikut, the country’s first national opera. Employing a qualitative, score-based analytical approach, the study focuses on the overture as a structural and aesthetic gateway to the work, examining its form, harmonic language, orchestration, and incorporation of folk-derived elements. The findings demonstrate that harmony functions as a central expressive device in shaping character, dramatic tension, and narrative cohesion. At the same time, the integration of folkloric rhythmic and modal features contributes to the opera’s national character. The study highlights the overture as a condensed representation of Kosovo’s early operatic identity and argues that Goca e Kaçanikut establishes a foundational model for national opera within the broader European operatic tradition.
