Abstract

本創作研究是以「雨」、「城市」兩者來作為主要的創作架構，以筆者成長的臺北為出發點，雨為軸心，並探討兩者間的關係及影響。多雨的天氣，會帶給繪畫發展什麼樣的影響，以及創作者會如何詮釋這樣的氣候，都是本研究的重點。本文涵蓋藝術史、藝術社會學等學理基礎，以及對筆者所產生的影響及啟發。作品部分則著重於本身的內容與形式，以及相關技法研究。 此論文架構分為六個章節及圖錄，摘要如下： 第一章為「緒論」，說明本創作研究題材的選擇和媒材選擇之動機、目的，再敘述研究範圍及方法。 第二章為「學理基礎與文獻資料」，該章以研究臺灣早期水彩畫家對於「水氣」作品的手法及意念，另外也以藝術社會學的角度和方法探討早期東西方的雨景作品，藉此深入了解當時社會背景對於藝術家及作品所產生的影響。 第三章為「創作理念」，分析作品表面之下要傳達的理念。探討作品中「雨」、「城市」、「人」三者間所產生的關係和意象，以及筆者在這時代之中對於這三者所感受的現象、以及思考的問題。 第四章為「創作內容、形式、技法與媒材-」，該章節以整個系列創作的角度說明作品中包含的內容、元素，再說明透過何種表現形式、手法，以及筆者如何使用水彩來將意念轉化為創作。 第五章為「作品解說」，其重點在敘述筆者雨景畫之創作背景及過程，共二十件水彩作品，分別陳述每件作品之故事背景，再逐一分析每件作品之構圖、色彩和技巧。 第六章為「結論」，該章將此四年研究之成果作一總結及心得，期望將來在創作上能有更為精進的表現或突破。

This research is a self-critique of the author’s 20-piece painting portfolio with rain and city as the main elements. By probing into the relationship between rain and Taipei, a metropolitan city where the author was born and raised, this research focuses on 1) the impacts that rainy weather has on the development of paintings and 2) how an artist would likely interpret rain in his or her artworks. The scope of this research includes Art History, Sociology of Art and their influence on the author. The critique of the artworks focuses on the contents, forms, and the skills performed. The research is comprised of six chapters and an appendix, including information of all the pictures and paintings referred to in the study. Chapter one is the introduction to the themes and media of the paintings, the author’s creative motivation and purpose, and the scope and research methods of this study. Chapter two is literature review, which includes the study of “water” in the paintings of early Taiwanese watercolor painters. In this chapter, the rain portrayed by early western and eastern watercolor artists are also discussed in the context of Sociology of Art to better realize the social impacts on artists and their artworks. Chapter three is the statement of the author, expressing the underlying concepts of his paintings, discussing the images and dynamics created by the combination of rain, city and people and how the author interprets the three elements in the context of this present generation. Chapter four analyzes the contents, formats, skills and media of the paintings in the portfolio. This chapter discusses the portfolio as a whole, explaining the contents of and elements in the paintings, the skills used, and how the artist conveyed his ideas through watercolor. Chapter five is the description of each individual painting in the portfolio, in which the background and process of creativity are focused on. The contexts, composition, use of color and skills of the 20 pieces of artworks are all narrated in detail. Chapter six is the conclusion of this paper, summarizing the author’s work within the four years in graduate school and the expectation of his future performance.
