시지각 이론의 관점에서 본 현대 중국 애니메이션의 장면 디자인 연구: 극장용 장편 애니메이션 <강자아(姜子牙)>(2020)에서 구현된 전통 미학적 특징을 중심으로

Abstract

“Legend of Deification”(姜子牙), a feature-length animation released in China in 2020, has been pointed highlighted as a representative work of so-called Chinese-style animation for its poor storytelling and lack of character vitality, However, in terms of its formative aspects, it is said to have succeeded in inheriting and visualizing the tradition of painting and calligraphy. The implementation of traditional aesthetics is consistent with the direction that Chinese animation has pursued steadily since its early history, but there are still mixed views on the specific application of the animation genre. This paper applies Rudolf Arnheim's visual perception theory based on Gestalt psychology to more objectively explain the three features of traditional Chinese aesthetics: the combination of dynamic and static(靜中動), mutual promotion between reality and virtuality(虛實相生), and images abstracting from viewing(觀物取象), and how they are embodied in the concrete animation “Legend of Deification” We first consider the theoretical basis of Arnheim's theory of visual perception, animation, and traditional Chinese aesthetics, explaining how the discussion of the relationship between art and visual perception by Arnheim is consistent with the logic characterizing traditional aesthetics. Next, we confirm that, on the premise of this theoretical commonality, the animation “Legend of Deification” has succeeded in animating costumes using traditional aesthetics by driving motion in silence by symmetry, expressing unrealistic reality and unrealistic reality by highlighting visibility.
