| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 視覺藝術研究所 === 93 === Beauty is the foundation of creation. Art is the result of beauty.
The beginning of creativity is when people see beauty. In order to imitate beauty, people pick up something from everyday life such as scenery, objects, and etc. Aristotle said, “Beauty is more real than history.” For example, look at ancient cave paintings. They show the true history of human life. One can see herds created of tigers, deer, rhinos, and camels﹘everything in the painting. You can tell the numbers of the herds in people’s everyday life. That causes the desire of creativity.
But where are the animals? Humans can control animals because we have bigger brains and better hands. We changed the environment, adapted nature to suit us. We controlled and dominated all species on the Earth. Now, we have become the principal of the Earth. Animals have been lowered. Nevertheless, we keep expanding our territory while animals’ living space disappears. Some animals are even extinct or are dying now.
The motivation of this paper is to try to explain personal research. From various studies, we can see the way animals have a place in History. According to the documents, we can understand relationship between humans and animals in society.
The idea of “Beauty and Sadness” as a writer for this subject I understand the feelings behind paintings. It helps one to appreciate the whole process of the painting being created.
To support my theory, I have come up with four reasons in order to see the variety of animal life：
1. Life praises. Life worships. Life rejoices.
Open the History, all the poems, literature, painting, art, architecture, carving, sculpture, plays, drama﹘the ideas were all inspired from the beauty of animals.
2. The sorrow of Dying
Animals don’t live for themselves or die for themselves. They are just one of Humans’ resources.
3. The sadness of Life
Human Beings cause the danger to the environment. The number of animals decreases and some have even gone extinct. Animals have been dominated by humans. There is no future, only sorrow.
4. Everything is definitive of Life
No on can choose to be born or to die. Living is meaningless. There is only the satisfying of human beings’ needs.
The motivation of this paper is to try to explain personal research . From various studies we see the way animals take a place in history. According to the documents ,we understand the relationship between humans and animals in society.
