ABSTRACT: This article explores the experiences of integrating batik art into the training process of fine arts teachers. Batik, a traditional wax-resist dyeing technique, offers unique pedagogical opportunities for developing both technical skills and creative competencies. The study highlights methods for incorporating batik into teacher education, emphasizing hands-on practice, cultural understanding, and aesthetic development. By engaging with batik techniques, future art teachers gain practical experience, enhance their creative thinking, and learn strategies for effectively teaching traditional arts to students. The article also examines challenges, benefits, and best practices in the integration process, illustrating how batik can serve as an educational tool to strengthen professional competence, creativity, and cultural awareness among trainee educators.
