Description
Summary:There are very few studies on the creation of batik clothing that explore the themes of power and peace. So far the creation of batik clothing is still limited to the art of decorating, but has little to do with power - peace. Many power conflicts lead to war, the purpose of this research was to create batik with a philosophy that power leads to the goal of peace. Expressions of power and peace are represented through form and strengthened by the creation of written batik techniques on a piece of cotton cloth. To achieve this goal, we apply a creative approach to the creation process, namely: (a) formulating the concept of written batik creation; (b) creative exploration of written batik; (c) the process of making batik using cotton cloth; (d) the creation of batik works using the written batik technique using canting, coloring, drying and cutting into a piece of batik clothing. This approach describes the representation of power and peace in the form of written batik clothes worn by a king, namely King Hamengku Buwana X from the Yogyakarta palace, Java, Indonesia. This research produced special batik for King Hamengku Buwana X. The batik that was made depicts a motif that symbolizes the authority of power but also brings peace to mankind, i.e. the creation of batik for King Hamengku Buwana X.
