Mereka menetapkan "trend" pada tahun 1950-an hingga 1970-an. Matlamat kajian adalah untuk menentukan bagaimana ketiga-tiga penentu arah "trend" ini telah mempengaruhi pencipta buku komik yang lain. Temu bual mendalam dengan Hans Jaladara, Dwi Mastuti, Hasmi, Roby, dan Agus T Dermawan merupakan metodologi kajian. Walaupun dari budaya yang sama, gaya lakaran mereka nampak sangat berbeza. Kerana mereka berasal dari wilayah yang berbeza di pulau Jawa, persekitaran budaya mereka sebelum ini memberi kesan yang berbeza kepada mereka juga. Contohnya, Otto Suastika, anak jati Jawa Tengah, mencipta figura dalam gaya naturalistik yang sama seperti Foster. Otto Suastika, orang Jawa Tengah, melukis tokoh dalam gaya realis Foster, misalnya (Foster ialah seorang ilustrator terkenal yang telah mengumpulkan banyak karya), tetapi dalam komik seni bela diri Cina, dia mengembangkan gayanya sendiri dengan mengambil Potehi. Motif dan ciri-ciri boneka menjadi pertimbangan, terutamanya dalam persembahan pakaian seragam Raja, bendera, dan kubu. Hanya ada dua artis lain yang menggunakan teknik ini. Walaupun mereka tiba pada masa yang hampir sama dan dipengaruhi oleh artis buku komik AS atau artis peranakan Indonesia yang setanding secara kasar, mereka tidak dapat dielakkan mempunyai emosi Cina. Ketiga-tiga perintis itu memberi inspirasi kepada ramai rakan seangkatan mereka, khususnya di Sumatera Utara dan Pulau Jawa, untuk mengembangkan seni mempertahankan diri berdasarkan cerita rakyat, Pahlawan Indonesia (Si Pitung), dan legenda tempatan.

DESIGN OF MINI PLANTS WITH SELF-WATERING FEATURES USING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIALS, Aug 19, 2021

Water pollution is a major factor causing health problems, because indoor air pollution is 2-5 times (Vidyautami, et al., 2015) worse than outdoors and humans spend 90% of their activities indoors. NASA scientists in the 80s conducted a study of the role of plants in the room to eliminate organic chemicals in the water by simply placing air purifier plants in a room with a height of 20 cm making a very large reduction for water pollution. But it is not easy to care for these ornamental plants when they are placed in a room. Obstacles to moving ornamental plants from the yard into the room include, in addition to adjusting the types of plants, a pot that can be adjusted to the conditions of the room is also needed. In this design the author aims to be able to make a pot that can adjust to the busyness of the urban community that can facilitate the process of plant maintenance every day.

Asemic writing intends to explore the field that has not yet been distinguished, when the practice has not yet separated by definition between anulis (writing) and anglukis (painting). Nevertheless, it may be assumed that it was being written in a language we are not yet familiar with. Unaware of those asemic movement, two of Indonesian prominent artist has been practicing the mode of mark making verisimilitude asemic writings. Made Wianta (1949-2020), Balinese Indonesian master of painting, poet and calligrapher, turned his painting into realm of calligraphy and vice versa. another prominent Chinese Calligrapher in 2020, Tjuju Widaja 79 year old from Bandung, get her doctoral degree from local public university by releasing the strokes of chinese characters from its origin meaning into experimenting layers in surfaces calligraphic painting. This article here intends to convey a number of concepts that are expected to be related in the effort to cultivate the asemic writing as language as well as images. The interplay between visible and invisible give much more mistery than it may seems. The truthful of meaningful world seem hiding behind the visible, it awaitings in ways that are more drawn out be recognized, yet once it occurs to surface, all of sudden it shades away back to the edge, challenging us to figure out what was it anyway. Asemic is becoming of a system without structure, a meaningful with no grounded semantical meaning.

Sastra grafis adalah semacam upaya puitisasi grafis, dalam hal ini pengisahan cerita melalui visual gambar di atas permukaan dua dimensional. Puitisasi grafis bukanlah sebatas memvisualkan, menggambarkan atau mengilustrasikan puisi-puisi. Puitisasi kalau boleh dikatakan sebagai dorongan untuk mendramatisir narasi visual dari gambar-gambar yang berurutan dalam cergam. Dalam konteks sastra grafis inilah kami merasa perlu menempatkan cergam Mahabharata gubahan dan guratan Apri dalam kancah persaingan identitas kreatif tanah air.

One of cultivates popular culture in late nineteenth century is the medium of comics. The amusement of comics invited its reader - young or adult - to be immersed into its world. Taking underrated subject matter in popular visual culture such as comics is an intriguing task. While people would agree that cartoons are valuable reflection of society, yet it is an arduous task to take since it was not yet count as a truly significant scholarship. The lack of appreciation made the richness of local comics unseen and as an important contemporary visual culture remains undiscovered. Articulating the expression of contemporary Malaysian comics is not even more a lucid mission.

The method accordingly observes the visual content based on the appearance of the amount characteristics in purposively sampling. In this kind of study, the quantitative numbers simply denote the presence of a specific sign which is defined objectively and limited to the surface (manifest) characteristics of the comics. It focuses on the visual by carefully examine the drawings characteristics. This research into drawing method and models derived from Charles Sanders Pierce which is constructed within the triadic models of semiotics theories and develop by William Morris that deliberately used in visual communication design. The understanding of comic art is an intersubjective one. To read is to share the perception amongst the reader. Its study is a re-reading the meaning through the lived-experience of comics.

Since it contrastive to the nature of artistic practice embodied in the arts itself, which unfortunately not even realize by the artist his/herself. Whilst it is well said by Joseph Kosuth (1971) that: “the artist, not unlike a scientist for whom there is no distinction between working in the laboratory and writing a thesis, has now “to cultivate the conceptual implications of his art propositions, and argue their explication.” This paper is about explicating the writer as the artist himself who done the livedexperience of drawing performs as the research processed.

Reading comics involves an active subconscious partaking of the reader. We take for granted that by reading the sequences of the picture’s story, we already imagine what really happened in between the panels in our mind. The purpose of visually analysing the four local magazine’s contents is to thoroughly discover the appearance of the comics content that includes types and features of the comics, grids and layout design, but not to gain a few of qualitative categories by using statistical quantifying. The understanding of the characteristics of each magazine cannot be fully comprehended by separating parts of the magazine’s contents but through the analysis in its visual component. It is to recognize the comics’ visual element in order to provide a proposition of formalistic aspects of the comics graphic art and design.

By drawing, it gives people's chance to observe, muse, select choices, and continuosly develop mind. Drawing is more than idea of searching, furthermore it contains spirits and philosophy which makes it getting more point as art and design. Hopefully drawing is not only for killing time but it has a special part, as visual design methods.

It is to review recent literature that addresses various issues towards the idea of art and design as a ‘practice-based’ instead of research-based inquiry which is quite novelty. By considering the importance of the issue and but the same time its depth and complexity comprising of philosophical underpinnings, thorough this article researcher would like to discuss its ontological basis of art / design works vis a vis natural fact, followed by showing their epistemic character in comparison to scientific knowledge.

It is stated that paradigm of artistic inquiry is ilustrated with the role of practicioner as researcher wherein subjectivity, involvement and reflexivity are acknowledged, while (k)nowledge is negotiated – inter-subjective, context bound, and is a result of personal construction. Visual objects have been exhausting large amount of our physical and emotional energy in seeing it which certainly gives them a central role in contemporary ages. It is suggested that research could become part of the needs for experience, to inspire, or to collectively develop a profession. Recently, research as knowledge production has been increasing and gaining its interest within the creative art field. However, there is a foundation which underpins a research, at least some implicit philosophical assumptions of it, which serve...

Drawing gives a chance to observe, to muse, to select and develop continuous thinking techniques. It is to present that drawing is not just a cursory to generate ideas, but it has its own energy and philosophy which deserve studying as a domain of art. In recent years, drawing has received attention; there is on the one hand a group of drawing practitioners, and on the other hand a group of drawing researchers. Drawing in design is a medium of visual and spatial thinking. Digging into research actually is a necessity for visual communication studies. It is suggested here three kinds of research approaches: research into art/design; research through art/design; and research for art/design. Indeed, it leads to four axis topics (topoi) for design studies: design practice, design product, design discourse, and design meta-discourse. A field of study called 'visual culture' which, departed from the study of critical theory and cultural studies which have set out relatively new field of study called 'visual studies'. Based upon to this perspective, visual (communication) studies should be more self-reflexive. The production of visual communication contributes to construct the visual culture in society.
