Abstract
This research focuses on artistic style formation and states the connection with self-identity. It was revolving around the formation process, which at the same time was a journey of self-discovery. The personal art style, on the surface, is the artist's signature, but more importantly, it is the answer to Who, When, and Where. The unconscious factors outline the cultural background and value of the artist which formed the self-identity. With the artistic practice of the animation Tape, this research verbalized the intuition and unconscious connection in creative activity, more precisely in the framework of animation. Artistic production is carried out during this master's thesis research associated with the topic of self-discovery and artist identity. I intended to conduct various style testing in the production. As a result, the short narrative animation Tape employed four art styles. Among the four styles, three used the 2D digital drawing technique, and the last experimented with the under-camera technique. The research elaborated on the artistic production and stated the development of styles and how they serve the narrative structure. In addition, in the theoretical background, the research studied the concept of style associated with the artist's self and compared the Eastern and Western authorship and style development in the art and animation fields. Also addressed the practicality of an animation artist's style development in the industry. This research emphasized the importance of testing and the spirit of constantly developing through practice.Description
