양주 별산대놀이 탈에 표현된 분장 효과와 미적가치 연구

The unique image obtained from the traditional culture passed down through the nation’s long history is the perfect element of cultural popularity that can be distinguished from other cultures and is also the cornerstone of developing globally competitive design. In modern culture, where diverse cultures and expression styles exist in many countries, the mask used in our traditional play culture can be said to be a sculpture that contains the emotions and values of our people’s unique lives. Korean traditional masks are one of the unique cultures of our people and have great significance not only as a formative form that contains authentic beauty, emotions, and ideas of life but also as a transmitting culture. In particular, it is undoubtedly true that the expression of traditional masks contains many attributes, such as our culture, regional characteristics, and colors. A show is a unique sculpture covering the face with a specific concept, purpose, and use. In addition, it covers the face and acts as a disguise and camouflage to express supernatural beings of people or animals that are different from the original face and, at the same time, contain the emotions and characteristics of other ethnic groups. In this study, we examined Korean traditional masks in terms of the makeup effect and aesthetics of the colors, shapes, and images expressed in the Yangju Byeolsandaenori mask and applied Max Dessoir’s theory to determine the aesthetic value of the Yangju Byeolsandaenori mask, such as pure beauty, sublime beauty, and tragic beauty, and joke beauty except for elegance. In this mask, the Five Positive Colors, our unique colors, are widely used, and other various colors are expressed through harmony with the Five Negative Colors, revealing our unique colors and the characters’ personalities. This mask also shows our unique formative elements, demonstrating the excellence of traditional masks. The Yangju Byeolsandaenori mask has an excellent sense of form and color, and the makeup effect and aesthetic value shown in the traditional Korean mask are closely related to the character and content of the characters in the play and contain the face of our people. Therefore, it is necessary to study further the makeup aspect and aesthetic value of masques in other regions to develop makeup and aesthetic emotions suitable for our culture.
