艺术想象的感知基础

On the Perceptual Basis of Artistic Imagination

一般的美学理论倾向于强调想象与感知的区别,更侧重于两者的差异,然而在艺术创造中,想象活动不仅与感知有关,而且还以感知为基础。艺术家面对现实事物,对其形式和质料的想象都需要借助于图式,而图式的形成来源于感知,感知既可以提供静态图式,也能够构造动态图式,想象利用知觉提供的图式进行跨领域连接,最终形成具有丰富意蕴的艺术形象。想象活动的展开离不开空间意识,而空间意识的产生植根于感知活动,想象对象的空间构造模式也一定程度上遵循知觉的原则。

General aesthetic theories tend to emphasize the difference between imagination and perception,and pay more attention to the difference between them.However,in artistic creation,imagination activities are not only related to perception,but also based on perception.In the face of real things,artists’imagination of their form and material needs the help of schema as the intermediary,and the formation of schema comes from perception.Perception can not only provide static schema,but also construct dynamic schema.Imagination uses the schema provided by perception to make cross domain connection,and finally form an artistic image with rich meaning.The development of imaginative activities is inseparable from spatial consciousness,and the generation of spatial consciousness is rooted in perceptual activities.The spatial structure model of imaginative objects also follows the principle of perception to a certain extent.
