Seeing the 1st KSI National Meet Up from another Angle (English-Bahasa)

in #meetup7 years ago

Continuing the story of the grand event that has passed, this time I will discuss from another angle.

Luckily, after passing the cities on the island of Sumatra just to come to Bandung, I found another interesting corner of it. The other corner is Art.

Art

Anyone must have an ingrained art of the soul within each one. Whether it is manifested and shown to others, or simply kept neatly in mind. Unconsciously, we are often hypnotized by art. It could be, we spend more than 1 minute to look at the painting and at the same time open our imagination so that the painting is a real impression.

We don’t need to be be too fixated to define what art means. One thing is certain, the art is everything that holds beauty.

Kang Bahar figure

Speaking of art, especially painting and drawing, I remember kang Bahar Malaka, one of the famous painters from Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia. Long dreadlocks, tight pants, kupluk hats, shirts with conspicuous features, and a rather thin body shows the eccentric character of an artist.

He is very good at producing paintings. Evidently, at the 1st meetup KSI National event held in Bandung last week, kang bahar managed to attract the attention of the steemian to appreciate how the art has an effect on our lives. Dozens of steemians clustered around him as he demonstrated painting lively. To convince you guys, please check the following link.

I, who was present at the time, heard straight the reason why kang Bahar who completed the abstract painting using his hands directly without the help of painting tools. He argued that he wanted to instill his emotions to become the soul of the painting. If you understand art, you would agree that the work of painting also has a soul.

Art and Steemit

How pleased I am to know that there is a platform that can give price to paintings and drawings. Steemit is like a liaison between artists with art lovers although the distance between them is very far.

Promo steps

I don’t wanna miss the opportunity, I also held a little steemit promo to one of my students in Bandung, Dani Shandi Sihombing His name. I remember very well that he is also gifted in painting and drawing.

So far, dani has not received a reward other than in the form of praise "wow your drawing is coooool" or "your painting is great". After I explained about the benefits of Steemit compared to other platforms, dani immediately did sign up. Unfortunately, until this post I post, dani has not received approval from Steemit yet. Here's one of his works:

Conclusion

Many things I can learn from the 1st KSI National Meetup event in Bandung.

  1. I can meet the elite steemians

  2. I got valuable lessons

  3. I can promote steemit

How happy if we can direct the skilled people around us to join together into steemit. Let's write, photograph, draw, paint or other things that produce works so that they can be immortalized in this steemit. Amazingly, our work will get rewards. May we succeed together.

Melihat 1st Meetup KSI Nasional dari Sudut lain

Melanjutkan cerita tentang perhelatan akbar yang telah berlalu, kali ini saya akan membahas dari sudut yang lain.

Beruntung, setelah melewati kota-kota di pulau sumatera hanya untuk datang ke Bandung, saya mendapati sudut lain yang menarik itu. Sudut lain itu adalah Seni.

Seni

Siapa saja pasti memiliki jiwa seni yang mendarah-daging di dalam diri masing-masing. Entah itu berhasil diwujudkan dan ditunjukkan kepada orang lain, atau sekedar disimpan rapi di dalam benak/pikiran. Tanpa disadari, kita sering terhipnotis oleh seni. Bisa saja, kita menghabiskan waktu lebih dari 1 menit untuk memandang lukisan sekaligus membuka daya hayal kita agar lukisan itu terkesan nyata.

Kita tidak perlu terlalu terpaku mendefiniskan apa yang dimaksud dengan seni. Satu hal yang pasti, seni itu adalah segala sesuatu yang menyimpan keindahan.

Sosok Kang Bahar

Berbicara masalah seni, khususnya seni melukis dan menggambar, saya teringat kang bahar, salah satu pelukis terkenal asal Cimahi, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Rambut gimbal panjang, celana ketat, topi kupluk, kemeja dengan corak mencolok, dan badan yang agak kurus menunjukkan ciri nyentrik dari seorang seniman.

Beliau sangat piawai dalam menghasilkan karya lukis. Terbukti, pada acara 1st meetup KSI Nasional yang diadakan di Bandung minggu lalu, kang bahar berhasil menarik perhatian para steemian untuk menghargai betapa seni itu berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan kita. Puluhan steemian berkerumun mengelilingi beliau saat beliau memperagakan seni lukis langsung jadi. Untuk meyakinkan kalian, silahkan cek link berikut ini.

Saya, yang hadir pada saat itu, mendengar secara langsung alasan kenapa kang Bahar yang menyelesaikan lukisan abstrak menggunakan tangannya langsung tanpa bantuan alat lukis. Beliau berkilah ingin menanamkan emosionalnya sehingga menjadi jiwa dalam lukisan tersebut. Jika kalian mengerti seni, kalian pasti setuju bahwa hasil karya lukisan juga memiliki jiwa.

Seni dan Steemit

Alangkah senangnya saya ketika mengetahui bahwa ada platform yang dapat memberi harga terhadap karya seni lukis dan gambar. Steemit laksana penghubung antara seniman dengan penikmat seni meskipun jarak antara keduanya sangat jauh.

Langkah promo

Tidak ingin melewatkan kesempatan, saya juga mengadakan sedikit promo steemit kepada salah satu murid saya di Bandung, Dani Shandi Sihombing Namanya. Saya ingat betul bahwa dia juga berbakat dalam seni lukis dan gambar.

Sejauh ini, dani belum menerima reward selain dalam bentuk pujian “wah gambarmu kereeeen” atau “paten juga lukisanmu yah?”. Setelah saya jelaskan tentang keunggulan Steemit dibanding platform yang lain, dani langsung melakukan sign up. Sayangnya, hingga tulisan ini saya posting, dani belum menerima approval dari Steemit. Berikut salah satu karyanya :

Kesimpulan

Banyak hal yang bisa saya jadikan pembelajaran dari acara meetup 1st Nasional di Bandung yang lalu.

  1. Saya bisa bertemu kaum elit steemian

  2. Saya mendapat pembelajaran berharga

  3. Saya bisa mempromosikan steemit

Alangkah bahagianya bila kita bisa mengarahkan orang-orang yang terampil di sekitar kita untuk bergabung bersama ke dalam steemit. Mari menulis, memfoto, menggambar, atau hal-hal lain yang menghasilkan karya sehingga dapat diabadikan dalam steemit ini. Hebatnya, karya kita akan mendapat reward loh. Semoga kita sukses bersama.
