그림책의 시각적 경험과 예술화 -백희나, 이수지 그림책을 중심으로-

Abstract

This is an era in which aspects of literature and art are digitized and connected by a network. Baek Hee-na and Lee Su-ji, who are currently active in Korea, are creating picture books that are developing into art paintings by maximizing visual experience. This paper investigated the picture books of the two writers dealing with the changed literary and social images by satisfying children's emotions and helping imagination. The two authors are creating, first, picture books that express visual experiences by connecting them with language, and second, picture books that contain emotional and philosophical content and are recognized as artistic activities beyond narrative understanding. Baek Hee-na's picture book created a three-dimensional background by applying three-dimensional characters and animation techniques. Her picture book expresses each scene with a lively texture, as if watching a video, through the activity of taking pictures. The contents of the picture book point out the current situation of reality using traditional narrative as well as the life history that connects Korea's modern and modern times. Picture books are a multi-structure that allows you to experience reality and fantasy at the same time, doubling your imagination and drawing interest and fun from both adults and children. Baek has established herself as an artist who expands her visual experience by combining text in language symbols with pictures, which are visual images. Lee Soo-ji writes a wordless picurebooks that require creative imagination. Her picture book is loved for creating artistic pictures that enhance visual understanding using watercolor, crayon, oil painting, and collage in a two-dimensional flat space. The screen space of picture books is developing into an artistic state using abstract and conceptual aspects. This brings about mental maturity, aesthetic enjoyment, and emotional growth. As a result, it can be seen that Suji Lee's picture books develop not only children's literary qualities but also their artistic aesthetics. This paper looking at the picture books of Baek Hee-na and Lee Soo-ji in the post-human era, found that traditional ideas about what constitutes human existence are now undergoing significant changes. The fact is that the thinking of people who read picture books is expanding beyond visual experiences and verbal perception activities to artistic paintings. The task of picture books in the post-human era will be to overcome their limitations and seek new possibilities in the face of a new paradigm of transition.
