女性曲線特質之視覺意象及其繪畫創作運用

本研究以女性柔美形象與生活特質為繪畫創作實踐題材主軸，著重女性身體形象感覺特性的表現，一方面傳達女性心靈的震盪，另一方面提升自我藝術表現能力與境界。研究內容包含三個重點：一、從相關文獻瞭解女性繪畫藝術的本質及表現內容與形式，以檢視創作理念與方向。二、從前輩傑作圖像與符號的運用，瞭解女性意象的繪畫表現內容與形式。三、以本身體驗與瞭解直接關聯的女性心靈、思緒為題材，從事創作研究。文獻與圖像研究結果顯示了男女藝術家在詮釋女性題材的作品時，所切入的觀點大不相同，且因受外界的刺激或內在感情的變動，而產生各種不同的意象。此外，研究者深感藝術創作能傳達內心的感知，獲得抒發感情的空間，更能將生活中的體驗融入於創作中，提升藝術創作之境界，因而期許自我在未來的藝術創作生命中能更深入表現自然界美的事物，展現出一份美的意象，一份美的氛圍與一份美的意涵。讓最美的意象透過繪畫呈現在觀者眼前。

Emphases are placed on the perceptual quality of visual forms, in order to communicate the voices from the female soul and promote the author's own ability and skills for artistic expression. Three aspects of inquiry are engaged though this study. First, reviewing the literature concerning especially to female paintings, for understanding their basic concepts, contents, and formal qualities, in order to examine the ideas and set the goals for the creative project. Second, analyzing the existing master works by female artists for the visual images and symbols, to know the ways of using the feminine images in painting. Third, and the last, conducting the creative project of watercolor based series of works, composed of the feminine images and symbols. Results from the first two aspects of study indicate that the male and female artists tend to interpret the feminist themes in different ways, not only at the starting point, but through the process where changes may occur due to the external or internal causes and bring about various types of images. In addition, the author has found in herself that the project study enables her to communicate her own feeling and knowing about the feminist concerns in art, and express more freely her own life experiences, through the works of higher aesthetic quality. She further urges herself to continue exploring the beauty of Nature and creating more images of beauty, grace and meanings.
