摘要
By combining examples of contemporary toy art, illustration, device art, digital artistic practices and through views of my own I will question the significance and development of traditional art in contemporary art creation and its impact on the my art. The article consists of three parts: In the first chapter, I will emphasize the embodiment of Chinese traditional art in Dunhuang art through the Dunhuang example. I will analyze how Dunhuang Buddhist art was formed and describe the architectures, sculptures and murals in Dunhuang Grottoes. For the murals, I will focus on the figure murals and story murals. Finally I will summarize the characteristics of Dunhuang art and its impact on contemporary art. In Chapter II, I will analyze contemporary illustration art, toy art and device art through art works of artists such as Yoshitomo Nara and Maywa Denki from Japan, of contemporary China such as Perk studio from China, and Mars-1 from America. In Chapter III, I will introduce my own art works as well as my own artistic views. For artistic views, I will analyze the importance of traditional art in contemporary art, the importance of art innovation and the way to carry on traditional art and create contemporary art works. Finally, I will present my own thoughts through art creation and the conclusion for the art study.
