The Aesthetic Of Animation Art

This thesis regards animation esthetics as the research object, studying the essence of the animation art first; analyzing the esthetics characteristic of the animation art, the creation of the animation art, and the Chinese appearance of animation esthetics immediately after; finally inquiring into the esthetic variety in animation art and the trend of animation esthetics in the digital age.Chapter 1 is '"The deformation as the characteristic':the medium essence of the animation art". This chapter will focus on the proposed "the deformation as the characteristic" idea of this one core. Study of animation aesthetics must establish the logic starting point. The logical starting point should be the reason for the animation nature of things. The animation nature of things is not art, not the movies, though the animation art in the process of development is from the arts, film arts and other traditional arts and learn a lot of artistic elements, but the animation art is not the mixture of the art elements. These art elements already are combined to be a new quality in the animation art, which we can regard as the characteristic of animation. The Animation art has the same thing held by traditional arts, also has its own unique things. This article thinks that animation is used as a kind of medium, so the essence of the animation art should be "the deformation as the characteristic", which differs from "the photograph as the characteristic". The animation art should not be the material world of recovery, and should not have the natural close relative with real life.Because of "Deformation", the animation art must be distinguished from the live action movie which essence is "the photograph as the characteristic". Moreover, because of "Deformation", animation art mus not be lifelike like the stunt movie. The concept of "deformation" will help us to deepen our understanding of the essence of animation. At last, this chapter does further in-depth analysis of the the specific embodiment and realization way of animation "deformation".Chapter 2 is "the beauty of 'deformation':the animation art's aesthetic appearance". This chapter will inspect the beauty of "deformation", after understanding "the deformation as the characteristic". Firstly this chapter discusses how the beauty of "deformation" comes from, then discusses the generating principle of the beauty of "deformation", next elaborates the several characteristics of the beauty of "deformation", namely the activity, alienation, exaggeration, virtuality...... Of course, the specific performance of the beauty of "deformation" is different in different animation art works. The same characteristics in different animation art works will be strong or weak, either explicitly or implicitly, which is also an important reason leading to different animation art styles in fact. Finally, this chapter discusses several factors that influence the beauty of "deformation":medium, material, audience, age, geographical (national).Chapter 3 is "the creation of the beauty of 'deformation'". This chapter will explain how the beauty of "deformation" is created in the animation art. First this chapter discusses the relations between the animation art and actuality life, then introduces three basic processes of the animation art creation, finally contacting the animation creation practice in our country, focuses on the analysis of two key questions about the creation of the beauty of "deformation":thinking and emotional expression, explains the characteristics of the thinking and the specificity of the animation art's emotional expression.Chapter 4 is "the Chinese appearance of the beauty of 'deformation'". Firstly this chapter analyzes the development process of the animation art in China, then examines the history of the development and characteristics of the beauty of "deformation" in Chinese animation art, and the contribution which is done by "Chinese School".Chapter 5 is "the beauty of 'deformation' in the digital age". This chapter will mainly analyze the new changes of the beauty of "deformation" in the digital age. At first, this chapter analyzes the ecological impact of digital technology on the animation art, then studies new change and development trend of the animation aesthetics which are brought by the digital age.Finally, it should be alert to the negative effect of the animation aesthetics in the digital age.The last chapter is the conclusion. After summarizing the thesis, this chapter mainly explains the innovation point of this paper, the writing difficulties, the regret in writing, at last puts forward some prospects and suggestions to animation esthetics research of our country.
