Abstract

The gate of Candi Paduraksa or the Paduraksa Temple is a historical artefact that possesses historical, art, cultural and religious values. It contains sources of knowledge and experience in the art of building decoration. In this study, the various ornaments carved on the building in the past have been chosen as the resources for developing new ideas of Batik motifs and patterns. Using the descriptive analytical method of approach, this research aims to identify the unique characteristics of the Paduraksa Temple ornament as sources of knowledge as well as inspiration and to perform experimental studies in order to develop new Batik motifs and patterns from those sources. The new Batik motifs and patterns developed from this research provides opportunities in increasing creative economy of small to medium business units. Developing the arrangement pattern of Batik motifs would not only consider aesthetic values but also examine the skills and capacity of local craftsmen in the production process.
