| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系 === 105 === Abstract
This study explores the relationship between my inner thoughts and life circumstances through associating family portraits and objects. It also discusses my intention to revisit inner feelings in a society of rapid changes through a research on the topic of forest and bamboo landscape.
Chapter One, "Introduction," discusses how I have always preferred plain, colorless sketch drawings, which allow me to explore personal emotions in grayscale that is calm, impartial, tranquil, and lucid. I express my state of mind and view on life through a series of sketches, reaching a sense of inner peace and balance by combining the forms of plants and personal life experience. Every pencil stroke on paper outlines the contour that connects the mind and the image.
Chapter Two, " Theoretical Foundation of Artistic Creation," discusses the artistic schools that are related to my work. The first section focuses on the development of realistic art in Taiwan, providing a systematic introduction as well as contextualizing my own art in the course of art history and defining the trajectory of my artistic career. The second section addresses the diversity of contemporary realistic art and the diversified expression of media. The third section studies the relationship between sketch drawings and drawing manuscripts as well as their importance.
Chapter Three, "Artistic Concept," begins with an idea mentioned by Arthur Coleman Danto (1924-2013) in his The Abuse of Beauty, stating that paintings imply the scale of their viewer. The painter creates a sense of place with paintings so that the viewer can enter the narrative created by the artist. The second section discusses how the sublime differs from a sense of beauty in Enlightenment thinking because the former creates an impact on one's mind and surpasses human being's ability to fathom and comprehend. Importantly, it does not induce the sense of fear in us. Therefore, artistic creation becomes a process of pursuing and moving oneself. Every single thing in the image carries its own significance and symbolic meaning as artistic creation becomes something one relies on in a bustling life. The third section opens with a poem by Du Fu, and portrays my childhood in Chushan, where bamboo abundant grows and is used in many aspects of life. Hence, bamboo feels particularly familiar to me, and painting bamboo is only natural.
Chap In ter Four, "Artwork Analysis," I examine my work and explain the symbolic meaning of my subject matter as well as my creative intention of employing pencil drawing. The chapter centers on a series of discussion about the great nature in time and space, especially the light and shade, brightness and shadow, layer, texture, and presence of an object.
Chapter Five, "Conclusion," sums up the achievements and personal thoughts gained through the study. Artists unfurl their journey of life through their works, venturing into the mind and repeatedly examining the self. Artistic creation is an endless journey that promises no final destination, and life is like a "quest." This study can only achieve initial success as there is still a long way ahead. Although my ability is limited, I shall progress slowly and steadfastly, reaching into the depth of the mind step by step.
