碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 美勞教育研究所 === 98 === Abstract This thesis will discuss my art creation in the period of graduate study from 2006 to 2009. The main purpose is to explore the innermost desire through the monster image and will be presented as two parts, the background study and the body of art work. For the background study, there will be three parts: first, the Chinese ghost stories inspire this study and the re-interpreted stories wrote by me to pursuit further inspirations. By doing so, I could write my own stories as well as a series of visual presentation. Second, for the research of theoretical study, I quoted the definitions of monster from the Chinese literatures as well as the Japanese culture and its anthropologists to establish the existent values of the appearance and conception of monster. Finally, from the study of Japanese artists' works about monster, I analyzed their styles and meanings of the monsters they drew. Then I tried to find out the influences on own and carry on the visual as well conceptual dialog with the artists through a body of sketch works. For the body of art works, there will be two parts of developments. The first one will be a series of "Before the wonderland of spirits" and "The wonderland of spirits." The former one could be regarded as the transition states of the mature works; the latter contains two parts of creation, the writing and picture. This thesis mainly focuses on the series of "The wonderland of spirits" and reveals the innermost desires through the text writing and visual presentation. Key words: Spirits、The wonderland of spirits、Metamorphosis 、Desire
