By the development of technologies, human life in nowadays becomes the most convenient like no other era before. However, as the latest technologies in transportation and communication have made our world literally a “global village”¸ they also have caused more competitions between countries and areas. In this circumstance, the means to preserve local characteristic and originality and enhance local cultural creativity have become the new challenge for each and every country on earth.
However, while everyone was pursuing better material life, the environmental devastation caused accordingly was usually ignored, and the situation became so serious that might even endanger human survival. Therefore, how to balance the development for human needs and the protection of ecology is the most important task for each one of us who live on earth.
As a teacher of children art, I tried to combine the subjects of local characteristic and ecology protection, and while studying, I was attracted by a news column which introduced the unique eco environment under the sea of Guishan Island area in Taiwan, which contains under-sea volcanic geological environment, and the highest density of population of Xenograpsus testudinatus, an unique kind of Crab inhabit near the under-sea volcano.
I was obsessed by the originality of Guishan Island environment while collecting the information about it, but I also found that most of the studies about Guishan Island were for scientific purpose instead of educational and touring promotional purpose. Therefore, I decided to create a series of illustration works to help introduce and promote this special "Oceanic Eco Park" in my country, Taiwan. Moreover, by field study and the process of creating illustration works, I expect myself to refine my skill to present a more knowledgeable and more sensitive visual effect.
After a research trip to Guishan Island with interviews with local celebrities and elderly, the tones of this series was set in five major categories: “Cultural and Environmental Images of Guishan Island”; “Tells and Legends of Guishan Island”; “Slangs about Guishan Island”; “Oceanic Ecology of Guishan Island”; and “On-land Ecology of Guishan Island.”
The elements of this illustration creation were based on local documents, and the presentation was based on my pass training as an art worker and educator. After self-digestion and refining process, the efforts were paid off in several ways:
1. The creation of this series of illustration was deeply influenced by sensation perceived on the site of Guishan Island, and the spirit of the local people I contact with while doing field study in Guishan Island area. Those are truly inspiration of my works.
2. The goal of this illustration series is to achieve social educational function, and to be accepted by the widest range of demographics. Accordingly, a kind of innocent style with calmed form and line has been adapted in the series to create blunt and audience-friendly atmosphere. Based on the theories of beauty and visual communication, and by manipulating and constructing different elements, I engaged in self-discussion, and combined sensational impulse with rational judgment in my works to present the natural and undeveloped atmosphere of Guishan Island.
3. Through the interaction with audiences in my personal art exhibition, I was glad to know that most people across different age demographics could understand about the meanings I tried to convey through the series, and they got the intentions to discuss and explore more knowledge about Guishan Island. Therefore, it is proved that the exhibition has achieved its social educational function. On the other hand, I also had discussions in art form and styles with audiences with design professions, and learned a lot from them.
4. While engaging in field study and the process of creating illustration works, I contacted with several government and private organization in Yilan and was looking for opportunities to exhibit my illustrations in public. The efforts was finally paid off, and I was invited by The Institute of Yilan County History to exhibit my illustrations in special events of “The Tenth Academic Forum of Yilan Study- The Changes of Ecology and Environments,” and “The Changes of Ecology and Environments in Yilan- The Development History of Shuan-Lien-Pi”. My illustration will be exhibited in B1 level of The Institute of Yilan County History, and the period will be from October 6th, 2012 to March 25th, 2013. Being able to exhibit my illustrations in such an event which is full of social educational meaning is exactly the purpose of my creation.
5. Feedback and suggestion of the creation.
A. I was deeply moved and encouraged by the invitation of The Institute of Yilan County History to join their events. I believe that this kind of cooperation can be expended to develop local style merchandises or packages, and the combination of business, government, and academic organizations efforts can be a great force to develop the cultural invention and touring industries.
B. A great expectation was set for the achievement of this presentation of my illustration works: to raise more attention and awareness of local value and ecology protection. I sincerely hope my illustration works can help to enhance the cultural art ability, and transform the means of cultural art education in schools. In this way, I believe we can be more competitive in global market in innovation.
