碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 美術產業碩士學位在職進修專班 === 97 === This artistic work aims to examine the match between Fuli village’s agrarian landscape and the innate features of wood engraving. It was created with the tripartite intentions to portray the farmers’ inner psychologies, paying respect to them, and demonstrating concern for its natural environment. It seeks to lead the audience to contemplate the conditions of nature, cherish the earth that they share, and draw attention to the human and social issues in the agrarian communities. It is hoped that a greater number of artists will develop appreciation of the beauty of the pastoral scene and recognize the innate features and outward techniques of wood engraving creation, thus laying the foundations for more wood engraving works in the future. Today’s Fuli Township of Hualien County still remains an innocent, simple community uncontaminated by the sound and fury of the fast paced modern society outside. Through firsthand exploration of its natural sceneries and personally engaging the demanding labor of the harvesting season, the author learns the joy and allure of pastoral life in both its moments of tranquility and moments of harvesting upheaval. These experiences and findings then enables the amalgamation of Fuli’s agrarian symbolism, scenery, culture, and imagery into the author’s artistic imagination. This study will start by offering a narrative of Fuli village’s historical evolution. It will then present a typology of the artistic forms and contents of existing wood cutting works centered on the Taiwanese agrarian scene. This will be followed by an examination of their characteristics and limitations which in turn informs the selection of artistic formats appropriate for this theme. In addition, it will also perform a multilevel analysis of the point, line, and area visual elements of Fuli village. Having done so, it will apply these learnings about the Taiwanese agrarian theme and create three series of wood engraving covering Fuli community’s social landscape, harvesting season, and its natural environment.
