Local Potential of Purwakarta Jugs as the Source of Batik Design using Turtle Graphics

The Indonesian government actively keeps on promoting several areas which are well known for their batik. The motifs are promoted a lot through the local potentials. This research focuses on how to promote the local potentials through a typical batik design which is made using turtle graphics. Turtle graphics are vector graphics of the Lindenmayer system developed to model geometric objects, one of which is the jug shape. The research aims to develop the potentials of Purwakarta so that they become the region’s outstanding values through the batik design made by using a turtle graphics program. The method used in the research is a combination of descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The descriptive qualitative method is applied to describe the local potentials that become the idea of the batik motif design, while the quantitative method is applied to design the turtle graphics. The research results in batik with rereng kendi motif designed using the turtle graphics progra m, which has the novelty value in a national scale and increases the local wisdom of Purwakarta. The research contributes to the transfer of knowledge from academicians to be implemented by creative industries also for the documentation system and required less memory.
