A unique and interesting creative process using banana blossom sap as a
medium. Banana flower sap has specific characteristics compared to other
synthetic colors. Banana flower sap tends to display typical milky white, gray,
light brown, yellowish-green, red and dark brown colors. Painting using banana
blossoms starts from picking the banana blossom. Exploration of the technique
of cutting the stem of the banana flower until the sap oozes out and drips onto
the canvas. Since then I have been practicing spontaneously using banana sap,
involving movements of my fingers, pressing the banana flower gently, medium
and hard. The effect of the pressure of the banana flower sap produces natural
colors, according to the intensity of the movement of the fingers on the
canvas. The method used is carried out spontaneously, following the stages of
the art creation process (E4): Existence, Exploration, Experimentation and Evaluation. Realization (E4) represents the
existence of my creative process. Utilization of fine art elements such as
light, point, line, space, plane, color, texture and composition. The resulting
works of art include the following titles: Banana Sap Color 1, Banana Sap Color
2, Banana Sap Color 3, and so on. The use of banana blossom sap is driven by the
need to express the soul in order to produce new works of art of high quality
and have high aesthetic values.

INTRODUCTION
When the season banana fruit in the garden the author looks at Bananas
ready to be harvested . Bananas picked direct from the tree own nuance color
many kinds of depends from type of banana picked . If it's picked Still aged
more young so the fruit colored yellow reddish . While when banana heart that
is enough old so color his skin red old , purplish red , blackish red . The aesthetics of the colors displayed are very attractive . the
author's attention . Besides show character the various colors also have unique
shape . After heart cut into pieces into two parts , the stem is cut
emit colored sap milky white and grey . Then the author observes in a
way carefully and try to scratch on the t -shirt colored white . After a few
weeks of sap banana heart attached to a t-shirt hard to remove . With incident
like This author tries to explore sap banana heart on cloth canvas . Some the
work produced is expression expression the soul that
is done in a way spontaneity based on need creativity in creation art .
� Creativity often produce
expression create work on each work artist . Artist in
the creative process his work can't get away from expression his soul . Every
work reflect teak self the artist . The meaning of � expression � peaked in the
romantic period at a time when the art consider � art � as spark from emotions
that overflowed within the artist . In a way extreme between they some people
think that a works that are not contain element expression is No art . Mistake
This No last long. However Thus , the concept of " transmission "
emotions that must be able to felt audience �, still a long time ago important
grip for observers arts , (Djelantik, 1992: 87).
� Radiance emotions emitted by a
person artist is expression the soul that has value and depth meaning . Depth
the meaning expressed in the strokes color on cloth canvas is satisfaction self
in expressing everything the burden on the mind as if eroded and
controlled by emotions soul and feeling. Character the true artist looks
evident in his work. Character color and line strokes are spill emotion a soul
that often inspires the soul of another person who sees it . At the beginning
of the creation process art painting by using latex banana heart the author is
interested with the sap that sticks to the shirt white color banana sap spilled
on the shirt white is permanent difficult removed with soap wash any brand.
Previously the author often did the creation process art using paper
recycling, newspapers used, paper field ban, manila paper ,
paper duplex and buffalo paper. However thus creation art painting done on the
media on as a process of creativity, media exploration and experimentation.
� Preparation for creativity is
mostly done on the basis of � interest �, such as it says �, There is no the
big thing that can created when No There is enthusiasm �. For things certain
even , done only based on � faith � such as expressed to create things big , we
No only have to try , but also have to dream . (David Campbell, 1986: 19).
� Work skills are part important
in the work creative . However many ideas , thoughts , inspirations , and
dreams beautiful-beautiful found , if No can realized , all of that will be
disappeared like dew hit by ray sun . So except creative , must be own good
work skills in a way personal and also in a way together in a group .
Experiment sap banana heart done in a way spontaneity on the basis of sincere
intention and interest willing to produce character distinctive ,
specific , classic , unique and attractive colors and lines .
� Experiment to various type color
/ latex from fruits done in a way routine to get character color with existing
characteristics namely : color / sap milky white , yellow , gray , brown
old , and black . The color produced by banana flowers is very attractive the
author's attention to be made draft research , that sap banana heart as
material alternatives in the creation process work art painting . Utilization
of alternative media Banana sap is the result of the author's experience ,
wanderings and anxiety in processing create art . Travel long nurse '
intercropping ' garden a lot experience unique and interesting to get . Banana
trees , have different forms and characters . The author tries to identify
various type fruit to get various elements resulting color . Every fruit
produce color with various its uniqueness . Banana heart tends to produce color
milky white , gray after scratched on cloth canvas . Since scratch sap banana
heart above cloth the author's canvas finds color unique characteristics . The
initial process sap banana heart drawn on cloth canvas looks colored white to
grayish , after in progress for 1-3 months color banana sap
changes become color chocolate old .
� The process of creation work art
always related with How somebody capable apply his experiences into text
narrative and then visualize it through the process of creation art on canvas .
The reverse process make common thing become outside usual , to be
strange things are equally useful for thinker creative . Familiarity give birth
to conformity . Therefore objects , ideas, or humans are already it's a common
thing , we stop think about they . Like Seneca said , � Familiarity reduce
greatness something �, Seeing it as something strange , foreign , problematic ,
not satisfying , or rather foreign rekindle the mind we . Remember
proverb that God hides something the near with we .
(John Adair, 2008: 16).
� Often what is close with self We
without realized own uniqueness and distinctiveness alone . When the author is
close with banana tree in the garden , the author gets Banana latex has
distinctive color different with colors synthetic others . Experiments
about banana sap continues done to get identification the sap produced . Then
the author of the experiment by using latex banana heart . Where is the sap?
easy banana heart found in gardens , in markets and in shops vegetables and
fruits . In several experiments the author found various type character color
after etched on canvas . Sap banana heart initially show color milky white ,
then changed become grey, fawn , dark brown and black . The color of the banana
sap appears more sharp when coated substance preservative ( Belazo Art Spray Paint ), which is sprayed on the canvas .
Character color milky white looks experience change become color chocolate old
. Specifications uniqueness banana sap is getting more and more clear and sharp
. Findings This can convince the author that Banana sap is an alternative
medium in the creation process work art painting .
� Method of
creation art painting with banana sap begins from various stages method
creation (E4); Existence, Exploration ,
Experimentation , and Evaluation , then writer can formulate things as
following : How is the idea/ concept utilizing banana sap as a medium work art
painting ?, How? implementation technique paint with banana sap medium ?, How?
aesthetics color / banana sap in painting ?. With
formulation the above problem writer do stages of the creation process art
paint to be able to realize , describe as well as evaluate values aesthetics color / banana sap on top canvas .
The general objective of research on the creation
of works of art related to the concept create art use banana sap as experiment is to find out the extent
of aesthetic
value color / banana sap contained in it . Values the
aesthetics that emerge outlined become narrative on each work art the resulting painting . So that work the art produced
can inspiring soul feelings of others who see it . The results of the study
" Experiment Sap Banana Heart �, is expected become reference create art
for public broad . The specific objective is to identify works of fine art
that use
sap banana blossoms as a source for creating works of art. The writer identifies and evaluates the visual form of the creation art
painting is displayed. As study material the artistic creation is then analyzed for used as a guidebook for
the teaching and learning process of fine arts and design in development art
nationally and internationally .
RESEARCH METHOD
Research methods used in the creation process art painting � Experiment Sap Heart Banana� on cloth canvas is to use the
method collection of visual data in the form of related documents with
the process of creation work art painting . Documentation of the medium,
materials and tools used in the creative process work art painting in a way
spontaneity is is steps , stages of the process are
record traces that must be immortalized according to research needs . Then
stages interview with expert knowledge knowledge art
appearance is also done to get study about colors produced by nature . Field
survey done use get banana sap medium as material color the basis for painting
on canvas .
Medium is means used to support formation A work art . The
medium later in art appearance called element / element appearance or
appearance basic . While form art appearance is arrangement or configuration
from elements appearance . Elements similar appearance with natural
called figurative. Material ( material ) is material the basis for making a
medium such as : ( substance color ), sand , stone, wood , fruit , paper ,
metal , cement and so on . ( Dharsono Sony Kartika,
2004,8)
Research process , creation art entitled aesthetics soon the
author's appearance uses the related E5 theory with the Art Creation Method ,
1. Existence , 2. Exploration , 3. Experiment . 4. Realization , 5. Evaluation
. In addition , the author uses the method approach
with method study namely : 1. Method of collecting data on the medium, 2.
Interview method with scientists and artists , 3. Documentation method . From
the overall results of data collection in the form of interview and arrangement
documents materials and tools used , then the author reanalyzes them to get
accurate analysis results . related use of alternative media �
Experiment Sap Heart Banana� on canvas . Evaluation about mark

Analysis Rubber
Painting Art Banana Heart
Theory of relativity , what happened and what was observed , brilliant
people tend to confirm that 'Everything is relative ' , Maybe a term the not
enough profitable that is certain the word has accompanying philosophers and
lay people going to confusion . They imagine that the new theory prove that all something in nature physical is relative , whereas , conversely , theory the fully related
with attempt to separate the relative side and arrive at a statement about laws
completely physical No will depending on the conditions observer.
(Bertrand Russell, 2006, 13)
As per the statement on can withdrawn thread
red that evaluation aesthetics colors and lines in the work art painting with
the medium " Experiment " Sap Banana Heart �, on canvas contain
elements physique work , because work art is object object
physical that has value and meaning , value physique the work is very relative
its nature . Therefore observation to work art painting must also be mastered
knowledge about aesthetics art and philosophy art . aesthetics art more close
the relation with the beauty of the work art itself , the elements art always
binding and existing in the physical work art . While philosophy art always
object and subject oriented art , where subject art always refers to
ideas, notions and concepts creation art . The development of painting with the alternative medium � Experiment Sap
Banana Heart �, on the canvas shows a joyful dynamic, this is due to the
presence of various
new possibilities in the process of creation art . These new possibilities is
the existence of a new alternative medium that has never been seen before used
in the creation process art .
Embodiment art painting in its dynamics always leading to development
art that can not be separated from need people human
beings in the world. Creation art is very controversial overturn all form
stability art , values , styles , galleries , art market , etc. Initially hard
to understand because it uses a variety of media or art materials as
consequence from complexity idea or the ideas of the artists
. Some artist No interested rejecting traditional icons namely style ,
values and aura of art . In addition , the market system that is not enter
reason , limitations room galleries and the dominance of curators art that is
increasingly narrow down room motion art and artists . The more sharpen the
reaction of artists to create new art, (Dharsono Sony
Kartika, 2004,123)
Analysis creation art painting using the medium " Experiment
" Sap Banana Heart �, on canvas is new measures in connection with
rebellion creative artist , finally the creative process art can walk along
journey history development art . � Experiment Sap Banana Heart �, as material
paint is not a new medium, but rather is a new alternative medium for creation
work art painting . The process of creation work art painting with alternative
media sap banana heart can explained and described as following

painting . Steps new thing done is is breakthrough
new in the creative process human . Artwork painting with sap banana heart
produces effect classic , unique and attractive colors
. In connection with exploration of latex medium banana heart as a painting medium , then the next process done� with method creation art (4E): Existence ,
Exploration , Experimentation , Evaluation , then be born aesthetics about color / latex banana heart poured on top canvas . Various forms of visual color / latex banana heart poured with technique use
fingers hand in a way simultaneously and spontaneously . With movements fingers
spontaneous hands can produce dimensions and dynamics expressive colors and lines varies as well as own values high artistic
quality . the resulting color with banana sap
is dominated by color reddish yellow , brown ,
brownish , brown old . The aesthetics of color and lines of
the latex medium banana heart has specific , transparent , textured
characteristics especially on the strokes colors
and lines that cover pores cloth canvas . The author and also the
