论当代科学绘本的美学境界

A Study on Aesthetic Values of Contemporary Science Picture Books

科学绘本以科学知识为主要题材,但并不是知识图鉴,而是具有学科兼容性的颇有难度的艺术门类,在科学性与艺术性的结合上必须十分讲究。优秀的当代科学绘本注重融合多重谱系、渗透人文情怀、召唤探索之趣,致力于创造辽阔的审美空间、生成丰富的意义域。东西方科学绘本创作各具特色,在艺术表现上显示出民族性的风格差异,隐含着创作者不同的文化身份以及美学旨趣,可以相互借鉴。

Science picture books are not simple combinations of knowledge and pictures. Focusing on scientific knowledge, they belong to a new artistic genre requiring interdisciplinary knowledge. Close attention should be paid to how to integrate science and art well, which is no easy a task. For the pur-pose of arousing children’s interest in exploration, contemporary high quality science picture books are rich in knowledge and characterized by humanistic concerns and high aesthetic values. Science picture books in the East are distinct from those in the West. Differences in style are attributed to their differ-ent national characters, cultural identities and aesthetic tastes, which are complementary to each oth-er.
