LITERACY PROBLEMS ON DISSERTATION OF ART CREATION

Abstract

This article will examine the literacy problem of art creation
work which is embodied in the dissertation text of S3 program
students interested in creating art in art education institutions.
The focus of the study focused on what problems
emerged in the preparation of the dissertation text as part of
the final task of creating art: did the institutionalization of
creativity by the education providers create a cooptative aesthetic
regime or would it encourage more artistic creators to
work? As an intellectual property, a dissertation on art creation
is one of the graduation requirements with the same
weight as the performance itself. With such a weight, the art
creation dissertation text must be able to comprehensively
describe the entire process of its creation and production. In
other words, the art creation dissertation text must be able to
reflect the quality or weight of the work presented. However,
if judging from the institutionalized writing system and
formatology, it is not impossible that it will instead become a
shackles of creativity (cooptative regime) for creators who
should have a personal aesthetic orientation and vision. The
assumption is that with the reference to a systematic writing
format it often traps the employer to dissolve in formalistic
writing rules rather than the substance of his own work. Art
creators, in this case, are more concerned with the structure
of writing than content. But on the other hand, when viewed
from the text content which is a reflection of the overall performance,
it is not impossible to be able to be used to see the
weight or quality of the work. To examine these issues, the
author took the case of the art creation dissertation script,
especially the performing arts, at the Indonesian Institute of
Art in Surakarta. The results of this study, in addition to being
expected to be able to uncover the presence or absence of
an aesthetic regime, as well as being able to find the right
writing model for the writing of the art creation script.
