Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 美術學系碩士班 === 101 === The works chosen in this study consisted mainly of those from between 2010 and 2012 that were written from the maternal perspective, and provide descriptive insights into the experience of pregnancy and mothers’ interactions with their children. The objectives of these works were to examine the rights and responsibilities of the mother within the context of modern society, and to affirm both femininity and the power of motherhood. This study was divided into five chapters: Chapter 1 described research motive and purpose, research method and procedure, as well as scope and limitations; Chapter 2 illustrated the theoretical basis of these works of creation by drawing on mother-child imagery from sociology, works of literature, and art history. Chapter 3 concerned the discourse of personal creative concepts and creative practice, and the ways in which pastels may be utilized in artistic representations based on foundations in self-emotion. Chapter 4 was a discussion of artistic meaning by analyzing and interpreting creative concepts, form, and content; Chapter 5 was a summary of the process and experience of this creative research project, and contained visions for future studies and development. By drawing on personal experience, the author has transformed, through artistic representations of integration and reinvention, touching moments in “pregnancy” and “childcare” into redefinitions of how modern women may reinterpret motherhood to attain self-realization and affirmation.
