Introducing the Economic Potential of Porang Plants to the Community Through Batik Products

Abstract

Porang batik from Madiun has capital problems that make it difficult for batik to develop, such as the absence of
regeneration. In the absence of regeneration, making porang batik is still not well known by the public. So from these
problems, you can create a porang batik design by bringing out the characters on the porang plant so that it can attract
the public to better understand the potential of the porang plant. The problem in this design is how to create porang
motifs to be better known by the public. In addition, it also cultivates the porang plant as an inspiration for motifs that
can be realized in designs into fabrics with the cold night batik technique. The method used is the Collin Clipson
Method as a reference and principles of art by considering aesthetic aspects, materials, techniques, functions, and
market segments. So that it is expected to be able to solve problems in the design of these products, in order to produce
a product that is functional and also worth selling. This design resulted in 8 designs of batik cloth with stylized and
naturalist styles. With the results of this design, it is able to present a touch or other style in the display of motifs with
the source of the idea of porang plants. Therefore, it is expected to be able to provide awareness to the public about the
importance and economic value of the porang plant.
