碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系在職進修碩士班 === 98 === In Six Dynasties, He Xie proposed the concept of “the writing like a bone” to explain the relationship of the objects’ lines. And lines experience the trainings of time and develop several shapes. For example, in character painting, the lines of the skins are thinner, but there are thickness and thinness in clothing lines. Acute angles in stones, trees, and mountains in landscape painting are very different from lines of thinness, softness, and round in water waves. Lines are one of the elements in painting and design, but they are enough to show the representation of the emotion and the high quality. This research focuses on the representations of the lines, the theory of Minimalism and Minimalism in Modern art and design fields and the extensive discussions of the literature information analyses and case analyses. The modern designs have great influence on the form, the concepts, and the feelings. The points at issue in the definitions of Minimalism are involved in the illustrations and picture books which are brief and show lines, the one-by-one discussion of the picture representation and the application of the Minimal style. The creative research is based on the single line as the picture book form. The pictures make use of the Minimal style to show. By means of the well-known fables highlighting the meaning of the shape qualities, we cut the picture language to only the relationship between lines and shapes. We use the thickness and the thinness of the single lines, and the line modeling to simplify the general appearance of the pictures. We get rid of every unnecessary thing that will disturb the subjects. We revise a living way or a style. We establish a simple living philosophy on the familiar basis. The result shows that the brief concepts go beyond regions and cultures. Though it is not involved in the individual feelings in the thinking, it is very individual. The purpose of the human thinking is not in nothingness but in the essence. For the Minimalism in the plane surface categories, we take good advantage of the different lines to make a spatial sense and the picture tension. We apply the simple forms to subvert the traditional value judgment. Finally, we induce the three angles of the simplicity, the omission, and the reflection from Minimal thinking. We apply the basic framework of the Minimal style to the creations of the illustrations and picture books. We use the fables of “The Wind and the Sun,” Three Pigs,” and “The merchant the donkey and the salt” as the creative tests and propose the creative study combining lines and Minimalism to make the related industrial circle and the academic circle to refer to.
