Combining Korean Traditional Patterns and Batik Cirebon Banji Pattern in Daily Hanbok
Get PDFThe interest towards Korean culture has risen through the popularity of K-wave and thus artefacts related to Korea are gaining more interest as well. Hanbok, the Korean traditional costume is also increasingly popular, with people renting and wearing hanbok while visiting Korean traditional places. The popularity of hanbok led to the creation of daily hanbok, a modern interpretation of the traditional hanbok, which is easier and more comfortable to wear for the young generation while still retaining the beauty of the original costume. Cirebon, a coastal region in Indonesia, has a rich local cultural tradition influenced by Chinese culture. One of these influences can be observed in Cirebon's batik, which uses Chinese influenced motifs, such as Cirebon's banji pattern. Because there are similarities between Chinese and Korean culture, several Korean motifs are also found in banji patterns, such as the swastika, known as wan in China and man in Korea. This study tried to combine the traditional patterns from Korea and Cirebon's banji pattern and implemented the result in a daily hanbok that can be worn by young people from Indonesia and Korea as a symbol of the close and harmonious relations between Indonesia and Korea
The Visual Arts Education Crisis in Malaysia: Placement of Students into the Arts Curricular Stream at the Upper Secondary Level in Malaysian Secondary Schools
Get PDFIn Malaysia, the curricular subject of visual art, especially at secondary school level, pays little attention to the aspect of artistic knowledge development. Students are assigned to the arts stream based on their Level Three assessment results, which ultimately causes problems in the visual art learning process in the classroom. On the other hand, formal art education is absent among students in the science stream and visual art is perceived to be only for underperforming students, when in fact visual art can be a valuable subject for all students. This study used a qualitative triangulation method to assess the similarities between data from face-to-face interviews, observations and literature study. Visual arts education is duly needed at the upper secondary level of education in Malaysia to cultivate future generations with creative and critical minds. However, does the art education offered in the arts stream actually benefit the students who are assigned to this curricular stream based on the existing student placement system? This study aimed to investigate problems and issues in Malaysian visual arts education based on the system of student placement into curricular streams
Nature and Modernity in Edouard Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe and William Holman Hunt's The Awakening Conscience: a Comparative and Critical Reading
Get PDFThe painting Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass) (1863) by the French artist Edouard Manet (1832-1883) received negative comments for the awkward nude and the puzzling narratives in the painting. After much debate, this work is now considered representative of both the artist's oeuvre and of the French modern art movement after the 1850s. While Manet and his fellow Impressionists provided their definition of modern art through their quick brushwork representing speed and light, English art from the same period needs its own definition. A Pre-Raphaelite artist, William Holman Hunt (1827-1910), through the painstaking techniques that characterize the style of the group, presented his version of modern art. In his The Awakening Conscience, a mistress is shown stunned by the sunlight and struggling to wake up her conscience. This paper juxtaposes the two paintings and explores two aspects of the paintings that have rarely been discussed and compared before: modernity and Nature. It was investigated how, in both paintings, Nature (as visualized through the image of greenery) is exploited by modern society and how the bourgeois protagonists relate themselves to Nature. In doing so, this paper provides an interpretation of the cultural and social significance of both art works
Learning Effectiveness of 3D Hologram Animation on Primary School Learners
Get PDFIntegration of technology in education is changing traditional learning methods to satisfy global requirement towards Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0. Innovative teaching methods help teachers to motivate and engage students in their learning. This study analyzed the application of three-dimensional hologram (3DH) technology for students in primary one, two and three, to find the learning effectiveness of 3D hologram technology in the classroom. Pre-test and post-test designs were adopted according to the primary school syllabus to collect data, which were analyzed statistically using the SPSS software. The results revealed that 3DH technology integration has a great effect that positively enhances the students' learning capacity and attracts their attention. As indicated, 72% of the students had better scores in the post-test compared to the pre-test examination after watching a 3DH animation. The increased scores prove that 3DH technology can positively influence and enhance the knowledge gained during the student learning process. An illustration in the form of a 3D hologram animation was able to grab the students' interest and capture their attention. This paper contributes to the field of education by looking at the adoption of 3DH technology, which could effectively enhance student learning quality at an early stage
Macho Icons Going Places
Get PDFThis paper is an exploration of the increasing trend of popular macho representations on the back of three-wheeled auto rickshaws in the Punjab, Pakistan. Through an ethnographic field research it was observed that the painted visuals of popular icons in clichéd heroic poses are rampant on rickshaws, representing a mobile exhibition of urban folk art. These visuals are mostly taken from the local Punjabi film industry, which has eclipsed over the past two decades. This study further explored the reasons for the increase of male figures displayed on rickshaws (and other) popular art and the almost total extinction of female figures because of increased religious assertion in Pakistan over this two-decade period. Our analysis shows that the relationship between rickshaw drivers and a common male audience with these powerful visuals is so strong that it reinforces the 'impulse to image'. The power of macho visuals satisfies the taste of cinemagoers who love to travel by rickshaws loaded with such visuals. We argue that these macho ideal representations have a strong impact on the beholders and they influence society through the power they convey. Finally, this study concludes that the popular macho visuals effectively communicate real emotions and please the mood of vast audiences in particular segments of society
Color Coding and Thematic Environmental Graphic Design in Hermina Children's Hospital
Get PDFHospitalization has a psychological impact on pediatric patients. A hospital is a complex environment, so wayfinding information needs to be provided by environmental graphics inside the building. It is necessary to design informative, communicative and educative environmental graphic design media that use color coding to support child development. The research problem was to create an environmental graphic design (EGD) for a children's hospital that is communicative, attractive and educative and to investigate the role of color coding in the design. A case study was conducted at Hermina Hospital Depok, which consisted of literature study, observation, interviews and questionnaires. Color coding was used as a strategy to differentiate areas and to provide an understanding of the layout of the hospital complex. The purpose of this study was to design an effective EGD for a hospital as a means of information and communication to the visitors, especially children. Another aim was to apply color coding to a complex area
Reliability and Validity of Questionnaire on Assessing the Aesthetic Perception of Design Motif Applied on Sarawak Pua Kumbu Cloth Using the Art Reception Survey (ARS)
Get PDFThe objective of this study was to assess the reliability of the Art Reception Survey (ARS) in measuring the aesthetic experience of a Pua Kumbu cloth among visitors who visited the textile museums in Kuching Sarawak. Using this instrument with 28 items grouped into 6 factors, the reliability was assessed by measuring its internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Thirty (30) visitors served as respondents in this study, who were from various age groups and different geographic backgrounds. The results from the reliability analysis revealed that the factors had good internal consistency. Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from α = .672 to .978. The results also indicate that Negative Emotion, Expertise and Positive Attraction produced a low intraclass correlation coefficient. Negative Emotion and the first items from two other factors revealed poor item-scale correlations. This study suggests the removal of the Negative Emotion factor, which was revealed to be irrelevant in measuring the aesthetic experience of the Pua Kumbu cloth, and of items 1 of both Expertise and Positive Attraction, making the remaining 21 items in the instrument reliable to measure the aesthetic experience of the respondents towards the Pua Kumbu cloth
