Abstract

The local culture of Topeng Lengger Dance in Wonosobo Regency, which has been rooted since ancient times, is becoming less known among the younger generation regarding the originality of the meanings and moral messages contained within each character portrayal. Through the performance of this Topeng Lengger dance, the elders convey teachings and moral messages about life. In order to preserve Topeng Lengger properly and correctly, the writer presents moral messages and the meanings of these Topeng Lengger characters in a different way, namely through an exhibition project that presents nine imaginative drawings using hatching techniques with pencils and charcoal powder on A2-sized paper media containing the meanings of the characters of Topeng Lengger Wonosobo. This artwork is created with the aim of introducing the local culture of Topeng Lengger Wonosobo to a wider audience; delivering different knowledge and education through visual artworks that are usually conveyed through dance performances; conveying to the younger generation, especially in Wonosobo, to preserve the originality of the culture of Topeng Lengger, which includes meanings, characters, and moral messages learned from each portrayal; and stimulating the competitive spirit of others to create artworks with Topeng Lengger themes.
