Analysis of Cultural Elements and Design of Bali Bebean Kites

Abstract

In Indonesia, kites are flown for sports and recreation. One popular event is the kite festival in Bali. The festival is held annually. The first type of kite flown by the Balinese people was made from leaves. Strings were then attached to them, which is why the Balinese call them leaf kites. There are three types of traditional Balinese kites: the Tekuk or Pecukan kite, the Janggan kite, and the Bebean kite. This study was conducted to examine the elements of Balinese culture present in the design of the Bebean kite. Additionally, it describes the visual aspects of color, materials, and the components used in the kite. To address the research questions, an approach was taken that began with the product itself, focusing on color, materials, components, and function. The method used was descriptive qualitative.
