Analysis of Biomorphic Inspiration-based Facial Art Makeup Expressions

Abstract

Humans live in a close relationship with the mechanism of nature, and it has been a research topic for a long period of time. Historically, people have taken a lot of inspirations from nature and used creatures in nature as a source of their ideation for the purpose of solving diverse problems. At present, biomimic design converged with nature has been used in multidisciplinary fields such as architecture, medicine and fashion. Under these circumstances, this study attempted to suggest artistic values and a possibility of continuous expressions in beauty makeup through infinite uniqueness and diversity by applying biomorphic design. For this, an empirical research was performed based on the concept and design characteristics of biomorphism. In addition, the pictures on the websites were applied to biomorphic design processes. Based on the characteristics of each creature, three face artworks were created in a formative manner, using the colors which are good for each topic. The results found that the application of beauty and art to creatures in nature builds multilateral and unique ideas and, at the same time, makes creative face art possible by going beyond conventional standardized beauty. Therefore, it is anticipated that there would be further studies on creative face art design based on ‘biomorphic design methodology’ by upgrading the standards of body art through the continued development of unique and diverse makeup design.
