Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系在職進修碩士班 === 97 === Behind this study is the motivation from drastically increasing population of people on Taiwan pursuing personal outer beauty or appealing appearance thanks to day to day living quality level. The pursuing features being trendy in form closely following the world tide and steadily lowering average age of outer beauty pursuers while drastically increasing cost spent in maintaining outer beauty. This study aims at exploring the integrated beauty and aesthetics for pursuers, which consists of both apparent one – outer beauty and subtle one – inner beauty. In methodology, this study adapts literature review and survey through questionnaire, trying to find out the existing criteria of outer beauty from various aspects of the society, the role outer beauty plays in life and also the factors affecting outer beauty. Through research, this study also sees and points out the importance of “beauty of character” derived from the “inner sphere” of a person in the mental activities of beauty appreciation; the study further demonstrates what a more well rounded evaluation of beauty requires – not only the form of outer beauty but also more significantly the core of inner beauty. While outer beauty of a person relies mainly on “person-to-person beauty appreciation” inner beauty of a female beauty pursuer today to be self-examined earlier and enhanced through learning before pursuing for outer beauty. More precisely the pursuer can develop and cultivate both beauty appreciating competence and well rounded concept of beauty appreciation by examining everything arises in the daily life from aesthetic point, so as to better the inner and outer conditions of the pursuer’s and thus to be able to demonstrate her outer beauty properly without exaggeration, and to have a clear picture in mind about what it takes to pursue outer beauty, furthermore to appropriately value the significance of examining the inner sphere and put the examination into practice; and the long lasting or eternal beauty is right at the corner. The work in this study takes form in three components: 1. Outer beauty demonstrated by all parts of the human body as a whole; 2. Integrated beauty of the person, and 3. Added beauty from the fashion and trend ornaments. The work in this study comes a long way; firstly the “outer beauty” picture in artistic form is accomplished by application of pasteurization techniques for the target picture presenting in a style in between photo-realism and pop art styles, and next the work is enriched with oil painting techniques for the desired effect and impact and finally precisely expresses and delivers the messages of this study in form of image data to the audience.
