ABSTRACT

Ink-wash animation is the product of the combination of Chinese traditional ink-wash painting and modern animation technology, and it is a great pioneering work in the history of Chinese animation. Chinese ink animation is the animation with the most distinctive national style, and its creative form is full of poetry and painting. The visual language of ink animation comes from the traditional art form of ink painting in China for thousands of years. Animation is a special film and television space-time art, and the ink and wash animation form is China's original creation, which is the product of the combination of Chinese culture's concept of "harmony between man and nature", "dialectic between yin and yang" and modern science and technology. The artistic conception reflected by the lens is unique, and the picture is the basis of the lens. The picture and the lens complement each other and jointly reflect the artistic conception of cartoons. The artistic conception produced by the lens picture in the ink animation is more sporty, imaginative and spatial than that of the still ink painting. It is neither a natural and objective representation, nor a purely subjective expression, but a higher artistic conception of harmony between man and nature. The emergence of Chinese ink animation art forms is the crystallization of Chinese artists' wisdom. The traditional theme and aesthetic mood will inevitably be involved in ink animation as an audio-visual art form. As the most local animation art form, ink animation is the product of the combination of Chinese traditional culture and foreign animation art. To study ink animation, we must study its kinship with Chinese tradition.
