Creativity Through Kendi Creation

Abstract

Kendi is a traditional tool that has existed in Indonesia since 2000 BC. Hence, it is essential to preserve Kendi in order to maintain the craft’s rich history and culture in Indonesia. Currently, kendi preservation is particularly carried out by art students. In its preservation, creativity plays a crucial role when developing ideas for creating kendi made by art students. This study examined the role of student imagination in the development of a kendi craft. This study is qualitative research. The findings revealed that the Kendis monotonous shape can be developed into a variety of shapes, resulting in a unique shape and improving its novelty value. Even though the kendi’s shape has altered, it can still be utilized as a water storage container. Kendi can be used to stimulate students’ imaginations into making a piece of art since numerous types of creative and innovative kendi are generated through this imagination.
