脸谱绘画 Mask Painting
Masks have long been played an integral role in traditional Chinese Opera acts. The multi-faceted metaphorical layers of each mask move beyond simple explanations of behaviour – they possess subtle hints as to the personal situations of the characters themselves. Shapes, colours and lines follow long-established structural frameworks, each symbolic of the conventional roles of the Loyal, Devious, Good, and Evil.
Through the act of creating these handicrafts, students gain deeper insights into the nature of Chinese Masks.
脸谱指的是中国传统戏剧里男演员脸部的彩色化妆。这种脸部化妆有简单的(生)、(旦)到比较复杂的净(花脸)和丑(小丑)。演员脸部丰富多变的图案,除了表示性格外,还暗示角色的各种情况。它在形式、色彩和类型上有一定的格式,观众可以从演员的脸部化妆分辨出忠、奸、善、恶的角色。学员可直接用颜料在面具上勾画,也借此了解传统戏曲中人物脸谱其实大部分都有自己特定的谱式和色彩。
