PERANCANGAN BUKU ILUSTRASI PENGENALAN SENI JARANAN KEDIRI UNTUK ANAK USIA 7 – 11 TAHUN

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has many local arts, one of which is the Jaranan Art, which is a dance performed by several people on imitation horses made of woven bamboo, Jaranan itself has several different versions in each region, one of which is Jaranan Kediri, Jaranan art is still preserved in several local areas in Kediri, but only a few groups are still maintaining the art of Jaranan Kediri, the younger generation who are expected to continue the art of Jaranan has started to fade (Prakasa et al., 2016). As Iptu Rudi Darmawan said, the existing ancestral cultural arts (Jaranan) are no longer preserved (Nugroho, 2021), apart from the results of observations and interviews it was found that there is still a lack of information media that provides about the art of Jaranan Kediri, so that children cannot understand what Jaranan Kediri is, therefore this paper discusses how to design a media illustration book that contains information about Jaranan Kediri for children aged 7-11 years. This paper uses a two-stage research method, namely the preparation stage and the creation stage, at the preparation stage there are several stages including data collection, 5W + 1H analysis, synthesis and determination of design objects, while the creation stage consists of pre-production, production and post-production. With the information media of this illustration book, it is hoped that it can make children able to understand the art of Jaranan Kediri more deeply, so that children are aware of the importance of learning traditional arts to maintain its sustainability.
