Abstract

Artworks inspired by birds have consistently enjoyed popularity, both in the past and present. Designs featuring birds from mythology have particularly garnered significant admiration. Therefore, this study aims to develop into the jewelry design with bird motifs from "Sanhaegyeong", a representative work of Chinese mythology. The research analyzes the characteristics of birds depicted in "Sanhaegyeong" and investigates design cases inspired by these birds. Birds in "Sanhaegyeong" are broadly categorized into divine birds and monstrous birds. Divine birds are predominantly represented with diverse color combinations and unified tones, while monstrous birds are primarily expressed in contrasting colors such as red, green, and white. The study further scrutinizes the forms, colors, and symbolism of jewelry inspired by birds in "Sanhaegyeong". These works predominantly utilize various colors, green, and red. By integrating shapes and patterns relevant to the era associated with the origin of "Sanhaegyeong", designers applied them in the designs, taking into consideration the contextual background and the relevance of design forms. It is anticipated that these research findings will be valuable to designers intrigued by mythical bird designs.

조류를 모티브로 디자인한 작품은 예나 지금이나 꾸준히 인기를 끌고 있다. 특히 신화에 나오는 조류를 모티브로 디자인 작품들이 큰 사랑을 받고 있다. 그래서 본 연구는 중국 신화의 대표작인 산해경 중에서 조류를 모티브로 한 주얼리 디자인을 연구하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 산해경에서 등장한 조류의 특징을 분석하였으며, 그 조류들을 모티브로 한 디자인 사례를 조사하였다. 산해경에 등장하는 조류는 크게 신조(divine birds)와 괴조(monstrous birds)로 구분되며, 신조는 주로 다양한 색상의 조합 및 통일된 색조로, 괴조는 주로 대비가 강한 적색, 녹색 및 흰색으로 표현하고 있다. 산해경 속의 조류를 모티브로 한 장신구의 형태, 색상 및 상징성을 분석했다. 이러한 작품들은 주로 다양한 색상(multicolored color), 녹색 및 적색을 사용했다. 시대 배경 및 디자인 형태의 관련성을 통해 산해경의 기원과 관련된 시대에서 형태와 패턴을 적용하여 디자인했다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 신화적인 조류 디자인에 관심을 가지는 디자이너들에게 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
