形象思维是艺术创作活动中主要的思维方式。它借助于形象来反映生活,运用典型化和想象的方法,塑造艺术形象,表达作者的思想感情,也叫艺术思维。笔者通过《戴银铃的小羊羔》这个舞蹈作品来说明,不论从事舞蹈艺术创作,还是从事舞蹈表演,艺术形象就是舞蹈的生命;如果舞蹈失去了形象,那么也就没有了生命。 Image thinking is the main way of thinking in artistic creation activities. It uses the image to reflect the life, using typical and imagination methods, shaping the artistic image, expressing the author’s thoughts and feelings, also known as artistic thinking. The author through the “Dai Xiaoling bell lamb” this dance work to illustrate, whether engaged in the creation of dance art, or engage in dance performances, the artistic image is the dance of life; if the dance lost its image, then there will be no life.
