그로테스크의 미학과 그 오락적 가치는 애니메이션이라는 표현매체가 갖는 특징과 그 속성에서 많은 공통점을 지니고 있으며 이러한 애니메이션에 나타난 그로테스크한 이미지 표현 방식은 현대 이미지 디지털화 기술이 발전하면서 그 표현 영역이 확대되었다. 실사와 애니메이션의 합성, 오브제 애니메이션으로 표현되던 그로테스크 이미지는 Full 3D 애니메이션의 기술, 그리고 모션캡쳐로 인한 가상캐릭터에 대한 현실감 있는 움직임 부여로 좀 더 사실감 있게 그 부조화성을 발전시키고 있다. 그 소재 또한 현대 과학문명의 발달과 더불어 다양해 졌다. 그 한 예가 사이보그 캐릭터의 등장이며 이러한 그로테스크한 이미지는 현대에 이르러 그 여러 특징 중에 인간소외를 다루는 애니메이션에서 주로 등장하기 시작한다. 그리고 이러한 그로테스크 이미지 표현방식의 변화는 향후 영상기술의 발달과 더불어 방법적 양식을 달리하여 VR 형태, 인터랙티브한 영상으로 그 표현매체를 옮기면서 그로테스크한 이미지와 성향은 비인간성을 강조하는 영상장르로 대변되어 갈 것으로 본다

This study examined the images and formative features of female characters portrayed in fantasy films. This study aimed at providing an applicable theory to modern fashion by reconsidering the images of women appearing in fantasy films and arranging fantastical features reflected in costumes of female characters. The followings were the results of the study: The first divine nature that human beings discovered was woman nature. The discovered stone worked of the prehistoric age had a meaning of the great mother of universe and expressed a positive image. Such positive images of the goddess were variously differentiated to negative images or reduced in their roles and meanings in the settlement process of patriarchy as well as sociocultural transition. The foremost examples of negative image were expressed as grotesque, destructive, otherness, sensual, and exotic. The positive image of a goddess in fantasy films was not especially emphasized. On the other hand, the negative images of the goddess and the case of costumes were variously expressed as well as emphasized the typicality of the negative image of the characters. It was reconsidered that the typical features of characters in fantasy films were a result of the image of women following sociocultural transition. In addition, it was confirmed that such result was being reflected in film costume.

This study aims to discuss the type and characteristics of primitivism in the modern fashion of the $21^{st}$ century and, as a research method, the concept of primitivism as well as the transition of the patterns of primitivism expressed in modern art have been considered and reviewed through a variety of references. In particular, an empirical analysis of the works that have been created from 2000 to 2009 has been performed using domestic and overseas fashion and collection magazines. The characteristics of primitivism in modern fashion possess the following types of expression: First, Sensuality can be cited as one of the characteristics, either by using direct or indirect exposure of the human body, a silhouette which fits tightly to the body, or creating the effect of sensual beauty using animal fur or bird feathers. Second, Incantation: Masks symbolizing primitive incantation are used to cover the human face or primitive incantation is incorporated as a theme of hair accessories or fashion trinkets, etc. In addition, such decorations as tattoos and the body colorations of ancient tribes are reproduced in modern fashion by means of body painting, printing or other accessories, emphasizing the image of occult primitiveness. Third, Naturalness can be cited as one of the characteristics. Naturalness is emphasized in modern fashion not through artificial decorations and processing, but rather through different patterns of exposure by which natural purity can be felt or through the use of non-artificial materials which recalls primitive civilization. Forth, Playfulness is expressed in the form of graffiti or abstract letters and paintings, and the character of the play is often expressed by the use of grotesque images based on various distortions and exaggerations of the human body, the utilization of symbols of primitive incantation and body and/or facial painting. Fifth, Lastly 'folkishness is emphasized. Folk-like objects, facial decorations, exposure of the body and intense color contrasts typically represent the folkish characteristics.
