Abstract

Information about local culture is the starting point of developing a multicultural attitude of the young generation. An important part of a multicultural education system is how to foster students' sensitivity to the plural society's cultural wealth. This can be done by schools by breaking down the cultural sacs of students and broadening their cultural perspective. Balinese people have local wisdom in the form of traditional art inherent in everyday behavior. The past art heritage is alive, growing and preserved as part of the socio-cultural context of society. In the context of multidimensional, multicultural, and multi-faceted Indonesian society, the values of traditional art need to be put forward. Traditional art is expected to attach brotherhood, friendship, and unity, both micro and macro. Traditional art has the advantage of values; First, traditional art becomes the manifestation of national identity. Awareness and pride in the potential of traditional art will foster self-belief as a cultured nation, to avoid the sense of inferiority and marginalized feelings in global life. Second, traditional art has been tested by time in a very long life process and has become part of the people's network living systems. Third, traditional art can be used as a mediation for the development of the soul function, especially those in contact with the development of the affective domain, namely accuracy, diligence, sensitivity, regularity, and discipline. Fourth, traditional artwork offers a democratic life wisdom, an appreciation of plural and multicultural trends. Fifth, traditional art has wisdom as communication medium to educate or criticize life in more subtle ways. Many of the less polite works are packed so smoothly and symbolically that they do not hurt others.
