Summary

Introduction

Humans are civilized and cultured creatures, and because of these two things, humans can be said to be the most perfect creatures of God. Kontjoroningrat once said that there are seven elements of culture itself, of which the seven universal elements are 1) religious systems and religious ceremonies, 2) social systems and organizations, 3) knowledge systems, 4) language, 5) arts, and so on. Art is an expression of the artist's feelings conveyed to others so that they can feel what he feels. The types of feelings that the artist expresses vary. There is a strong, weak feeling; feeling important, meaningless; good bad feelings. Admiration, peace, love for the country, and so on. All feelings received by the human senses provide an artistic experience (Iswantara, 2016: 29)
