Abstract

This research is a qualitative descriptive study with the main focus of describing and explaining the illustrative style of pop art stylization as an alternative medium for the development of Beber Pacitan puppets. This research aims to develop the wayang beber character through the stylization of the wayang characters, which seeks to preserve the Pacitan beber puppet. The stages of analysis from various sources were generated in the form of information, literature reviews and interviews which were all carried out using an interactive model, where each component of the analysis included the stages of data collection, data reduction, presentation, and concluding. The data validity test used data triangulation techniques, namely, data source triangulation and theory triangulation. The data analysis technique uses interactive chain analysis with the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the research are the characters of the wayang beber characters with pop art stylization so that they can become alternative media for the development of traditional art. Traditional art combined with various styles and illustration techniques can develop the Beber Pacitan wayang so that it can be more attractive to future generations without losing its identity.
