Fashion Illustration by Applying Children Pictures’ Traits of Action Paintings for Expression

Abstract

Background : The current trend of fashion illustration reflects a change from emphasizing visible art to pursuing the value of art itself more and more. And in the other, the expression method by casualty of the realm of infant painting is constant with the action painting of the current trend of painting. Focusing on that point, I try to compare the traits of each thing and make a new fashion illustration by using only things from action painting. The goal of this research is to improve the value of illustration and the artistic position of original fashion illustration through it. Methods : This study was progressed by reference and case research. At first, I explored the concept and traits of action painting to survey case researches of the casualty expression method of infant painting. Second, I analyzed the similarities and differences between the casualty expression method of infant painting and action painting methods. Finally, I created a work by applying the original characteristics of action painting to infant fashion illustration based on these two studies Result : As a result, when comparing infant fashion illustration incorporating action painting with existing infant fashion illustration, I found that unconscious expression and inner desires are more dramatically expressed, and an even stronger energy and dynamic is created by using a different kind of media and different tools. Finally, I was able to convey more effective fashion images by repeating the processes of drying and dripping paints, so a deeper expression of colors with time was achieved. Conclusion : Through this study, I could suggest a new method of fashion illustration utilizing infant expression and differentiated features. The creative methods can continue to be expanded and it is ultimately relevant to improve the artistic value of fashion illustration.
