剪紙有著幾千年的歷史,是世代相傳的傳統工藝美術中精湛的技藝之一,也一直被貼上中國傳統民俗工藝的標籤,但是隨著物換星移,當剪紙由傳統農家社會走入現代化都市,不僅創意造型多變也趣味十足,甚至還能剪出極具現代藝術味的作品。這些剪紙元素也是從日常生活觀察體驗開始,藉著各種活動的推廣以及靈活運用各項材質的特性,讓剪紙工藝成為兼具客家文化特色、實用的藝術品,進而達到傳承、轉化的目的。本研究擬以邱玉雲老師的剪紙作品為探討對象,透過文獻分析、深度訪談及剪紙圖案的收集,探討客家剪紙藝術的文化意涵及圖案意象美學,並藉由剪紙作品藝術形式的分析,發現客家傳統工藝的美學特質,再透過不同媒材將傳統剪紙藝術融入現代的美學設計,使客家剪紙因為文創商品而能創新並獲得保存。
Paper-cutting is an art of millennial history, representing one of the gems in traditional arts and crafts passed down from generation to generation. But things change as time passes; when paper-cutting evolves from an art in traditional agricultural societies to the modern metropolis, it becomes not only highly variable in its creative look, but also a very interesting art. Even works incorporating modern art elements can be made. Paper-cutting elements may also emerge from daily observations and experiences. By means of publicity through various activities and flexible use of different materials, paper-cutting craftworks can be made artworks with practical applications, and hence become commodities full of Hakka cultural characteristics that may carry and transform the culture. This study focuses on Master Yu-yun Chiu’s paper-cutting works. The cultural connotation, as well as graphic and image aesthetics of Hakka paper-cutting art, is discussed through the analysis of literature, in-depth interview and collection of paper-cutting patterns. Furthermore, the aesthetic characteristics of traditional Hakka arts and crafts are identified by analyzing the paper-cutting art form of the works. Also, modern aesthetic design is incorporated into the traditional paper-cutting art through the use of different materials, so that paper-cutting can be revitalized and preserved because of the cultural creative commodities.
