DIGITAL ILLUSTRATIONS AS PROVISIONS STUDENTS OF STATE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 3 SINGOSARI IN DEALING WITH THE SOCIETY 5.0 ERA
The evolution of information and communication technology brings changes to society. Currently, we are facing the determination of globalization which is marked in the industrial era 5.0. The concept of Society 5.0 is a collaboration between humans as the center and technology as the basis. The concept of Society 5.0 will have an impact on all aspects of life, from health, urban planning, transportation, agriculture, industry and education. In the field of education, in the era of Society 5.0 students are dealing directly with digital media. The focus of education in the Society 5.0 era is focused on several areas of expertise, namely creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. Digital skills are needed in dealing with education in the Society 5.0 era. One of the digital skills in education that needs to be honed is digital illustration. Digital illustration is a science that studies how someone is able to explore creativity in a computer program to create art
illustrations in the form of visuals. The use of digital media for educational purposes is considered a step to prepare and improve the younger generation in facing the Society 5.0 era. The use of digital illustration media is expected to provide convenience for students. The use of digital media has many other advantages such as being easy to access wherever and whenever students are, at school or at home or even on vacation. Illustrations using digital media are also very easy to duplicate or reproduce as needed. The provision of digital illustration learning for Singosari 3 Public Middle School students is considered important because from the observations that have been made it is concluded that digital illustration is needed by Singosari 3 Public Middle School students to face the Society 5.0 era. From the observations that have been made, there are several obstacles found. Because of this, the Teaching Assistance group from Malang State University, especially the Fine Arts Education study program, created a digital illustration work program to develop the interests and talents of Singosari 3 Public Middle School students and to focus on helping prepare for FLS2N on Monday 8 May – Saturday 20 May 2023. From the initial observations that have been made, it can be concluded that the provision of expertise regarding digital illustration is very necessary. Apart from being a forum for students to channel their talents and interests, this can also be a support for students to bring the school’s good name into various existing competitions. Not only that, of course they can use the provision they get from learning digital illustration in the future or can be applied outside the school environment. This will be an added value for SMP Negeri 3 Singosari students in the eyes of the community
that they do not only excel in academic terms but also non-academic.
