Abstract
This study compares the characteristics of the aesthetic experience of different cognitive styles in calligraphy style. The study used a cursive script and running script as experimental materials and the EyeLink 1000 Plus eye tracker to record eye movements while viewing calligraphy. The results showed that, in the overall analysis, there were differences in the field cognition style in total fixation counts, saccade amplitude, and saccade counts and differences in the calligraphic style in total fixation counts and saccade counts. Further local analysis found significant differences in the field cognitive style in mean pupil diameter, fixation counts, and regression in count, and that there were differences in fixation counts and regression in count in the calligraphic style, as well as interactions with the area of interest. The results indicate that the field cognitive style is characterized by different aesthetic experiences in calligraphy appreciation and that there are aesthetic preferences in calligraphy style.
Highlights
The results indicate that the field cognitive style is characterized by different aesthetic experiences in calligraphy appreciation and that there are aesthetic preferences in calligraphy style
By calculating and analyzing the local measures of eye movements, an attempt was made to discover how field cognitive styles differed in the degree of attention paid to different regions and gaze patterns in cursive and running scripts
The final findings confirm and extend earlier hypotheses and inferences that field cognitive styles differ in the characteristics of aesthetic experience in calligraphy appreciation and that there are aesthetic preferences in calligraphy styles (Witkin et al, 1954)
Summary
The central question in this field is what evokes the aesthetic experience in a work of art and what factors influence aesthetic preferences (Leder, Belke, Oeberst, & Augustin, 2004). In Western culture, the knowledge and experience of visual art mainly come from post-impressionist painting (Boselie & Leeuwenberg, 1985), realistic painting (Yarbus, 1967), classical painting, and cubist art works In Oriental culture, calligraphy is one of the important fields of visual aesthetics research
