레이어의 조형적 특성과 표현 방식 비교 연구 -조형 예술과 도예를 중심으로- = A Comparative Study on the Formative Characteristics and Expressive Methods of Layers –focused on formative arts and ceramics-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Layers in formative arts are not merely visual elements but serve as a key concept across various media and artistic expressions. They develop distinct formative characteristics depending on materials and techniques, functioning as both a structural stabilizer and a regulator of spatial relationships. This study compares layers across four formative art fields—painting, sculpture, architecture, and ceramics—each corresponding to two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and spatial media. It aims to compare and analyze the formative characteristics and expressive methods of layers across these fields, examining their structural roles and visual functions. The research was conducted through a combination of literature review and case analysis. First, it investigates the formative characteristics and expressive methods of layers in formative arts through conceptual and theoretical studies. Second, it examines how layers are utilized in contemporary ceramics by analyzing selected works of contemporary ceramic artists and identifying distinctions between ceramics and other artistic fields. The findings reveal that in ceramics, layers express the individuality of the artist through the interaction of materials and techniques. Physical transformations occurring during drying and firing processes create irregular and unpredictable boundaries between layers. Furthermore, chemical reactions between clay and glaze result in variations in color and surface texture, depending on firing temperatures and glaze composition. Techniques such as overlapping, stacking, piercing, and cutting contribute to forming structures that connect internal and external spaces, thereby enhancing spatial depth and dimensionality. These results suggest that layers function as a key element for expanding both the scope of formal experimentation and production methods in ceramics. Future research is expected to expand the expressive and formative applications of layers through experimental approaches that incorporate various materials such as metal, glass, and digital fabrication techniques. Such studies will contribute to the ongoing development of ceramic layering practices and suggest new directions for academic inquiry in the field.
