Learning Strategies of Ornamental Fine Arts with Manuscript Ilumination: Saintificial Correlation and Approach Study

Abstract

Cultural arts education provides space for the optimal development of the intelligence of students. In the pedagogical dimension, cultural arts education has the nature of multilingual, multidimensional and multicultural, which can build one's character to be able to communicate in tolerance, wisdom, understanding and togetherness. Related to this problem, the context of this paper focuses on the teacher's strategy in teaching cultural arts, especially fine arts with decorative material, namely; (1) conceptual strategy in the form of integrated learning as a form of correlation study by connecting several disciplines with the learning of art and through a scientific approach in creating decorative works, and (2) operational strategies for learning art in the integration of cultural arts. This operational strategy covers the realm of theoretical, practical and appreciative learning. In practice, the introduction of a typical culture of the archipelago was developed in the form of Javanese manuscript illumination motifs as a form of efforts to preserve the typical culture of the archipelago, as well as the role of the museum for appreciative learning that is very good in learning.
