Abstract

Based on the perspective of academic application and cultural dissemination, this study intends to explore the aesthetic value of Taiwan modern crafts. Through an approach of style analysis, this study examines the works selected from Taiwan Crafts Competition Award and Modern Crafts Yii Project. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to explore the artistic essence and cultural reference of the creations. The study places the works in stylistic context to establish a theoretical framework of aesthetic analysis and criticism of Taiwanese modern crafts. A questionnaire is developed to obtain information required for style analysis. The data is analyzed using "Multidimensional Scaling" (MDS). The Consensus Assessment Technique (CAT) is employed in the study. A CAT questionnaire developed by Amabile is used to examine the performance of the works in three difference dimensions of creativity, technical goodness, and aesthetic appeal. Finally, a statistic technique of Multiple Regression Analysis will be employed to explore the significance of these three factors in each style of the works.
