早安洲美：記錄性圖畫書分析與創作

Abstract

本研究意圖創作記錄性圖畫書，為即將消失的洲美社區與其內的洲美國小留下紀錄。洲美社區是個質樸且未完全開發的地區，隨處可見的稻田是居民們眼中最美麗的風景，社區裡許多因禁建而保留原始風貌的老房子，也成為當地的特色。除此之外，全台唯一的屈原宮更是洲美居民共同的信仰聖地。洲美國小的孩子是洲美社區最主要的活力來源，直到現在校方仍然努力的經營學校，期望為孩子留下更多珍貴的回憶。研究者期望透過圖畫書特有的感染力，帶給師生與社區居民真實的感動，並將洲美的部份風貌保存下來。讀者群以洲美國小師生為主，當地居民為輔。此外研究者也藉此發展出兼顧親和性與真實性的記錄性圖畫書之創作流程。在實際創作階段中，歷經文獻探討、現有檔案資料分析、實地考察記錄、與訪談相關人物，四方整合結果發展主要創作內容，在形式上以個人風格為主並參考既有圖書形式與文獻分析結果，逐漸發展出圖畫書雛型；最後面對讀者回饋，加入修正與補充的過程，最終完成以圖為主、文為輔的記錄性圖畫書。研究經真實測試所歸納出的「記錄性圖畫書創作流程」為：在動機升起之後，將相關文獻探討、檔案資料分析、實地考察、訪談、與既有相關圖畫書分析，五方訊息之整合歸納，並加入研究者之創作風格與創意，發展成創作計畫。完成繪本後匯入讀者回饋，再修改補充而成最後版本。
