Human behavior in this era of globalization is very closely related to plastic use, so it has become a routine and modern human lifestyle. However, according to research, the waste caused by the use of plastics is very difficult to break down and can be dangerous for the sustainability of life in the future, while it is not yet possible to find such an insulated plastic for the impact of the creation of this waste. The author wrote this creation thesis with the aim of creating digital imaging photographic works inspired by humans and plastic waste on the basis of the author's empathy for the environment. From this work, the creator then describes the ideas, the process of the creation, and the work of digital imaging photography. In the creation of this work, the creator used L. H Chapman's creation method, in which this method has three stages, namely the initial stage, the improvement stage and the completion stage. These three stages then the creator developed into six works which were then presented in the form of an exhibition which was held virtually due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Keywords: creation, digital imaging photography, humans and plastic waste Abstrak: Perilaku manusia di era globalisasi ini sangat erat kaitannya dengan yang namanya penggunaan plastik, hingga menjadi sebuah rutinitas dan gaya hidup manusia zaman sekarang. Padahal menurut penelitian, sampah yang diakibatkan dari penggunaan plastik sangat sulit terurai dan dapat berbahaya terhadap kelangsungan kehidupan di masa mendatang, sedangkan belum dapat ditemukan solusi yang konkret untuk mengatasi akibat dari sampah plastik tersebut. Penulis menulis skripsi penciptaan ini dengan tujuan untuk menciptakan karya fotografi digital imaging yang terinspirasi dari manusia dan sampah plastik atas dasar empati penulis terhadap lingkungan. Dari karya tersebut pencipta kemudian mendeskripsikan ide gagasan, proses penciptaan, dan hasil karya fotografi digital imaging. Dalam penciptaan karya ini, pencipta menggunakan metode penciptaan L. H Chapman, yang mana metode ini mempunyai tiga tahapan, yaitu tahap permulaan, tahap penyempurnaan dan tahap penyelesaian. Ketiga tahapan ini lalu pencipta kembangkan sehingga menjadi enam karya yang kemudian disajikan ke dalam bentuk pameran yang diadakan secara virtual dikarenakan adanya pandemi covid 19 yang sedang terjadi pada saat ini. Kata Kunci : penciptaan, fotografi digital imaging, manusia dan sampah plastik

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has had a very significant impact on learning activities in schools, including learning at the UM Lab SMP. Teachers who are accustomed to using technology can make their own or take teaching materials from various sources on the internet. There are not many teaching materials that can be found on the internet that discuss specifically about junior high school art material. Teachers still have to reduce text material into easily digestible material for students to learn. This research used Sugiyono’s development method which has 10 research steps. The virtual module developed in this study is in the form of an application that can be operated on a smartphone or laptop, and contains junior high school art material in a systematic and attractive learning package that makes the learning experience easier for teachers and students. In using the module, the teacher becomes the facilitator, and students can understand the steps that must be taken in each basic competency, without even asking the teacher. The module directs students to follow the learning flow like playing a game. The interactive digital module was tested on UM Lab SMP students and showed good results. It got a score of 90.6% for the material expert validation test, 92.3% for the media expert validation test, 85% for the product trial with a small group, and 87.5% for the trial with a large group. This module can minimize the role of the teacher, enable students to learn independently, and can increase student activity with media in learning and learning activities.

In the art of modern painting, a personal style is required so that the artist can be identified. To be distinct and identifiable, there must be a consistency among an artist’s paintings. Yte, at the same time, artists continue to experiment and explore new variations making it harder to maintain an identifiable style. Variation can include objects (type, amount and colour) and composition (location, direction and attitude). Keywords: exploration, experimentation, personal style, the art of modern painting
