衝突與融合：普普藝術網點風格的實驗動畫創作論述

Abstract

普普藝術 Pop Art（Popular Art）又名「通俗藝術」，這個名詞是在1956年由英國藝術家羅倫斯（Laurence Alloway）提出的，即是對大眾傳遞訊息所創造的「大眾藝術」（Popular Art） 的簡稱。普普藝術萌芽於50年代初期的英國，隨即在50年代中期鼎盛於美國。普普藝術的創作方式主要是以當代社會流行文化的現成形象（著名明星或商品的形象），不強調圖像的原創，而是使用重覆複製大眾熟悉的形象物件符號。

本論述根據普普藝術的精神，以藝術網點技術，應用至實驗動畫（Experimental Animation）的創作上。本創作以藝術網點大量複製、重覆性的普普藝術風格，使用為人熟悉、立場相互衝突的政治人物肖像表達諷刺意味。運用不斷重覆的圖像，有系統地拼貼成一個大的肖像，產生在視覺效果上是融合的，卻又解構的人物形象，挑戰觀者對人物的既定印象，藉由跨媒介之異同，期望從中獲得感觀與認知。

最後於本論述結尾，提出以半色調藝術網點、彩色藝術網點為創作手法之實驗動畫歷程與心得，希望給予未來相關領域創作者一些參考。

Pop Art is also known as “popular art”. The term was presented by English artist Laurence Alloway in 1956, abbreviated from the popular art that communicate and deliver to public. Pop art emerged in British in early 1950’s and soon circulated and boomed in United States around mid 1950’s. The fundamental approach to create of pop art majorly grasps and adopts elements from existed phenomenon from modern society and culture, for example, images of popular performing artists or commercial goods. It does not focus on the originality of an image, instead, it often uses repeated figures, objects or symbols which are familiar by the public.

Therefore, this exegesis describe how artistic halftone screening can be applied on the creation of experimental animation with the spirit of pop art. The project created in this research applied techniques of artistic screening to duplicate images massively and repeatedly with pop art style. Well-known international political celebrities in positions conflicting to each other are applied in the creation to express irony. Images are repeated and systematically joined to form large portraits. It brings out special visual experience which is juxtaposed while decomposed portrayal of characters. Nevertheless, at the same time, the images with visual effects also represent harmonic. It is intended to challenge stereotypes about characters of viewers and to bring new sensory through the experiment of media.

Finally, by demonstrating the progress and experience of using halftone and color artistic screening to produce experimental animation, this thesis provides useful experience and reference for creators and artists in the related area.
