On The Relationship Of The Body And The Art Of Movement

All art creation activities require human body and express body on the other hand, while body expression must be undertaken with the accompaniment of movement of internal senses , thus the structural relations between body and movement is the issue that has to be studied when we are engaging art practice . Based on the comparative study on both Western and Eastern soma theory, this paper has given an all - round analysis on relations between body and art, which is of important realistic value for us to better understand the basic law of art expression - transmission - reception and any modem or post - modem phenomenon. From the modem soma theory which includes soma - psyche integration and mind - impersonality conjunction, the paper also dips into the substantial commonness of all art forms; fine arts, dancing, and music, leading to an reasonable explanation of a regular proposition: "dancing is the mother of art" .The paper consists of five parts: I . The body as a "field" - the sense origin of art expression; From the apocalypse of master' s self - portrait to the connotation of modem "body" , this part then leads to the comparative study of Western and Eastern soma theory. E . Body's emotional movement - the engine of art expression; From the use of body structure, action senses and emotion in art expression, this part deeply addresses the order of noumenon's internal experience - significance of "body rhythms" in art creation and reception. IE . Art formation and body' s internal imitative movement; From the re - understanding of ancient Creek Imitation Theory, it studies the significance of body synchronized imitative movement in art formation and aesthetics reception, which gives a new explanation to that antique proposition. IV . The body character of imagination tells that fancy is the relation between the thought sketching of body's internal sense movement and creative findings. V . "Body illustration' s construction of aesthetics and culture" , which dissertates the meaning of body illustration's construction in art creation and reception, thus accomplishes the explanation to the body features of art creation, transmission and reception.
