Summary:碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 視覺藝術學系 === 106 === The general impression of the aborigines is that of singing and dancing, music, peculiar costumes, and the straightforward character and a sense of humor, whereas the aboriginal people's lives and traditional culture are well understood. In fact, each aboriginal people has its own costumes, rituals, beliefs, tribal myths and tales, containing rich cultural wisdom. Through mutual appreciation and communication, peoples should be able to stimulate more cultural and artistic expressions. Taiwan's aborigines are rich in culture.

They offer a centripetal force for the ethnic groups and strive to show their cultural characteristics. The aboriginal artists shoulder the mission of inheritance and lead the tribes to invest in the cultural skills of the aborigines. They exhibit their own creative works to popularize and even commercialize the artworks. They live an artistic life and turn life artistic The first chapter of this thesis introduces the culture of Taiwan's aboriginal people, to better understand the traditional wisdom of Taiwan's aboriginal art, as well as its connotation and value.
