詩經植物意象於插畫創作之應用

A Study of Botanical Images in Response to the Book of Songs

植物插圖是透過精細描寫，並傳達出植物相關細節與特定物種的特徵，以利視覺區別與認知的一種圖像應用。早期植物插圖的目的主要是為滿足科學觀察與記錄的需要，而非講究其藝術描繪之技巧性，或應用於美學效果的創作。本研究從詩經中選擇“關雎”一篇，應用文本分析與符號學分析法，探討敘事文學和造型藝術的特徵與關係，並從文本中的植物意象，探討植物插圖創作的科學性描繪與色彩隱喻表現。希冀自中國傳統詩歌的象徵隱喻和內涵，發展植物意象應用於中國詩畫的圖像設計與實務創作分析，並有助於文化創意與色彩學課程之規劃設計。

Botanical illustration is the portrayal of plants with sufficient accuracy and detail that a particular species may be recognized and distinguished from others. Although the primary aim of botanical illustration is to meet the needs of science, differences in intent and technique (as opposed to artistic skill) may distinguish botanical portraits from floral illustrations where flowers are depicted primarily for aesthetic effect. This study is based on the text and semiotic analysis of one traditional Chinese lyric poem “Guan Ju”(關雎) which was selected from the Shi Jing. This study will further explore the relationship between the plastic arts and Chinese lyric poetry through the example of “Guan Ju.” In addition, it will discuss the creation of botanical illustrations with scientific color metaphors and design thinking, and contribute to the construction of cultural and creative design, and color science curriculum.
