On October 2, 2009, batik has received international recognition from UNESCO as a human heritage for oral and non-material culture (masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity). This award evokes the pride of batik, so that each region is encouraged to make batik with regional motifs / characteristics and motivated the exploration of ideas that have not been conveyed. This research will examine the search for ideas and the author’s process in making storytelling batik motifs with the theme of folklore or legends. There are 2 batik used for the samples, one of them uses the cold wax technique, and the other uses the hot wax technique. On this research Feldman’s art criticism method will be used to dissect the work and Graham Wallas’ theory of the creative process is used to analyze the process of art making. Based on the study conducted, it is known that the process of preparation and research related to the theme to be taken plays an important role in the process of creating the artworks because without proper preparation, the incubation process can be hampered.
