Abstract

The study aims to determine the productivity of Balinese traditional sculptures, the emerged economic impacts, the present sculptor’s skills, and the circumstances of the sculptor’s environment. Balinese traditional sculptures are works of art mostly created in Batubulan Village, Sukawati, Gianyar, Bali, using solid stone materials. At the beginning of its creation, the traditional sculptures were manually performed by the sculptor using sculpting techniques. Along with the technological advances, traditional sculptures are no longer manually made, instead, printing techniques and solid waste stone are used. With the printing technique, solid stone waste no longer polluting the environment; however, it can be well-utilized, hence clean environment. This study brought to light the issues of traditional sculpture productivity, the economic impact, the sculptor’s skills, and the present circumstances of the sculptor’s environment. The method applied in this research was a descriptive qualitative method and the data were collected through the following techniques: observation, interview, and documentation. The invention of printing techniques causes the production of traditional sculptures significantly to increase, the creativity and skills of the sculptors to decline, the economic capabilities to increase, and no environmental pollution to make.
