| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 設計學系 === 104 === Hearing and vision are important pathways for humans to understand the world. Music is an abstract auditory form, while shape and color are specific forms of visual communication in design, both having a corresponding and inseparable tie. According to the color and music related theories proposed by Russian artist Kandinsky (1995), it is stated that visual not only contributes out the display of music images, but also turns music from abstract into concrete. In addition, the interpretation of visual intensifies music performance power. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship and commonality between music and visual as well as the synesthesia between the shape and color elements of visual. It is also expected that through the intertwining interaction between the two art fields, the 12 created works can be summarized to analyze how performance techniques and uses can convert abstract music into visual symbols.
Through the literature review method, the music, shape and color related information was analyzed in this study. The results shall serve as the reference content of the questionnaire survey on the relationship between music, shape and color. For the music samples based on which creation was made, the most representative Golden Melody Award Song of the Year and Song of the Year Grammy Award from 2012 to 2014 were selected, a total of six winning songs. The survey participants comprise 100 people (50 from the music field and 50 from the design field). The formal test was conducted in two stages. The first stage focuses on the music and color synesthesia of the six songs; the second stage targets the synesthesia of music and shape. Finally, the survey results of the six songs were included as the basis for the creation design in this study.
Targeting the six songs in the creation research, after repeated experimental creations and modifications, a total of 12 posters design were created. The creation results show that in terms of the visual symbol conversion outcome for music, the implications of the lyrics may have changed or determined the concept and form of expression for visuals creation. In relevant literatures on the relationship between music and color, despite the representative color of each scale, the visual effect of direct associations to the lyrics was difficult to express in this creation experiment. On the other hand, the color luminance corresponding to the scales showed a direct relationship. Creation results on the relationship between music, color and shape also show that Kandinsky’s color and shape theory of “a triangle is yellow, a square is red, a circle is blue” is not entirely true; instead, it is the shape of music content, tonality, and rhythm that affects visual.
