| Animation is a creative cultural industry in the21st century, containing boundless commercial value. Though animation industry started earlier in China, the origianl animation is struggling and developes slowly now because of the immaturity of animation market and the imperfection of the industrial chain. After analyszing, it is lack of origianl characters that show the national characteristics in the animation manufacture. Therefore, it is a valuable attempt for the domestic animation in the period of confusion to blend the elements of New Year pictures into the animation characters and to create animation images that show national features and contemporary sense.Based on the traditinol New Year pictures, the artistic features of New Year pictures and modeling method will be studied from various perspectives in this thesis. Firstly, the thesis studies the origin and development of New Year pictures to realize the creative theme and the expression of the symbol and metaphor and interprets and analyzes the New Year pictures in different regions from which choose the most refined and the most representative model elements. Then, the thesis deeply analyses the artistic features of animation role modelling and the modelling rules. After dicussing the possibility and necessity of the fusion of the animation and traditinal New Year pictures, the thesis finds the correspondency and complementation of each other on the modelling. Finally the thesis gets the fusion point of two factors to create a new animation image and realizes its derivative products that will be used in life.As early as the last century, the older generation of Chinese animation have began the try to apply the elements of New Year pictures to the animation role modelling and have achieved much. But after the evolution in nearly half a century, with the appearance of new form of animation and the influx of anime and American animation, the image with extremely rich affinity and vivid picture stimulate the the public’s aesthetic conceptions."Chinese school" characterized by original modelling method and creative thinking is difficult to meet the contemporary’s aesthetic demand. Especially teenagers, they are not only the largest audience of animation culture, but also the most critical. They prefer to the new and the different and the characters and works that have something in common with them. Therefore, the thessis aims to look for a new point between New Year pictures and animation and find a new method of modelling creating the character in line with the contemporary children’s aesthetic interest, which is a meaningful attempt to improve the quality of domestic animation and develop it. It also plays a positive role in attracting more attention of teenagers on New Year pictures and promoting the inheritance and development of New Year pictures. |
