碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 應用藝術所 === 87 === Since the integration of the computer into the artistic creation,a number of researchers have started the studies on the impacts of media to artistic activities.The studies include philosophical discussions and experimental investigations.However,most research studies have focoused on the artistic performance of adults.Few have addressed the influences of computers to childen related art creation,for instance , children''s drawing. This thesis work investigated whether the chidlren pictorial representation would be different when different media,such as using papers and pencils as oppose to using computers,are introduced. This study also compared and contrasted the congnitive impacts on linear perspective representation of a child with the use of two different media,conventional and computerized.Experiments were conducted in this research. The first portion of the experiments was to analyze the still life paintings performed by children using traditional and computerized media.The second portion of the experiments was a retrospective protocal analysis. It was found that there exist significant differences in painting performance,specifically in solid object description and pattern creation,between those children who use conventional media and those who use computer media. Further analyses based on the painting works and protocal data of the children indicate that the use of different media results in different art styles. When drawing using a computer,a child tends to be more precise and logical,and would plot more geometrical patterns. In terms of painting behavior model and congntion,a child would have different models with the use of computers instead of pencils in the procedures of arranging the depth relationship among two or more objects. Also,the frequency of moving the drawing view port would increase notably. This research attempts to promote the understanding on children''s behavior and consenquent differences when the children use computers for drawing,and thus help corresponding art intructors in selecting appropriate and effective teaching methods.
