寂寞的小女孩─現代兒童圖像

本研究旨在探討現代社會中的兒童所面臨到的各種問題，藉由「寂寞」的產生來做討論，希望將少子化、環境汙染、校園議題及鑰匙兒童等問題，透過孩子的視角呈現，並將現代兒童圖像與社會問題結合於畫面中，在創作實踐的過程中逐步整理歸納，期能將現代兒童的寂寞心理呈現於系列作品。現代兒童生活的環境複雜，與社會互動較以往更頻繁，造成他（她）們早熟及獨立的性格，筆者的外甥女是同輩中最早出生的，理所當然受到家族最多的關注及寵愛，但因缺乏同輩而必須獨自成長，雖然看似早熟而獨立，但在互動過程中卻隱約感受到她的寂寞；我認為現代兒童對社會的感受與成人無異，在創作的過程中，我們更能在缺乏掩飾的狀態下發現她內心脆弱的一面，同時她的心理也不斷地發展。透過與她的互動讓我更深刻感受到教育與陪伴的重要性，期許自己在這次的創作中，除了更瞭解自己的創作形式之外，更能對身邊的人事物有更強的感受性，進而激盪出更多靈感與心得。

This study is aimed to explore the issues that children may encounter in modern society. By discussion of “loneliness arising”, the author was engaged to demonstrate the problems of low fertility, environment pollution and latch-key children from the perspective of children, and linked the pictures of children in modern society to the society problems in these paintings. Furthermore, in the process of practicing creation, the author summarized step by step and looked forward to demonstrating the loneliness of modern children in his series of works. The complex societies and frequent interaction give rise to the children’s premature and independent personality. The author's niece was born earlier than other peers. She was favored by the family for the most. However, she grew up alone and had no friends with same age. The girl seemed to be premature and independent, nevertheless, she leaked her loneliness in the interaction with people. Regarding to the experience of the society, the author considered that there is no difference between children and adult. In the process of the creation, we could reveal her fragile personality without masking, and on the other side, she developed her mind progressively. From the interaction with this little girl, the author realized the importance of education and keeping company profoundly. The author wished that not only he could find out more of his forms creation and be more capable of sensitivity towards the environment, but also could excite more inspiration and creation.
