本文以“生命的生产”为核心概念,把艺术起源的各种理论,综合为一个结构有序的动力系统。其中生命生产的两大基因——食欲和性欲是一级动力;通讯、游戏、摹仿等本能活动是二级动力;生命生产意识是三级动力。根据艺术起源的过程论思想,还把原始艺术区分为艺术Ⅰ(工具艺术)、艺术Ⅱ(图腾艺术)、艺术Ⅲ(彩陶艺术)三阶段;并认为由前艺术(使用天然工具)向艺术Ⅰ(打制石质工具)的飞跃,是在二级动力的推动下实现的。 In this paper, “production of life ” as the core concept, the various theories of art origin, integrated into a structured and orderly motivation system. One of the two major genes of life production - appetite and sexual desire is a motivation; communication, games, imitation and other instinct activities are two motivation; life consciousness is three motivation. According to the process theory of art origin, the primitive art is also divided into three phases: Art I (Tool Art), Art II (Art of Totem) and Art III (Art Painted Art); and it is also considered that Art from Pre-Art (using natural tools) (Stone tooling) is a leap forward, driven by two motivation to achieve.
