십장생문(十長生文)을 이용한 훼이스페인팅의 조형성

Formative of Face Painting using Ten Longvity Symbols Calligraphy

The calligraphy has been simplified with the longevity-symbolized characters in the painting of Sipjangsaeng (the ten longevity symbols) and applied to art makeup. Then, the following results have been obtained: First, the beauty of moderation (known as ‘true beauty of Korea’) has been expressed, using simple design and colors. Second, the beauty of modesty has been expressed. To express the beauty of modesty among commoners through the painting of Sipjangsaeng, modest Hanji (traditional Korean paper) has been used. Third, the beauty of blank space has been expressed. Comfort and relaxation have been expressed by partially painting Sipjangsaeng characters on the face. Fourth, the beauty of liberty has been expressed. The painting of Sipjangsaeng contains Koreans’ pure and humble souls regardless of its artistic value. True freedom which excels time and space constraints has been expressed. This paper has attempted to give help in generating new idea and concept in art makeup design and search for possibility to create new design from Korean tradition and values.
