Abstract:
This dissertation aims to study and analyze natural phenomenon of Songkhla Lake in the
perspective of nature, environment and arts within fine arts matters including synth sizing the
analyzed results from natural, human and cultural dimensions having an effect on the painting
creation in the west and east to form the information of the painting creation and reflect the
identity of visual culture.
The findings of the study are as follows:
1. The natural perspective of Songkhla Lakes phenomenon from the upper, middle, and
lower watersheds had three cultural characteristics, namely, freshwater, brackish water, and
sea water. This consequence came from ecological environment influencing peoples mindset on the
multicultural arts.
2. The factors of natural, human, and cultural dimensions had an effect on the creation of
western and eastern arts expressing the contents of the paintings.
3. The synthesis of style information consisted of two concepts: Objectivism and
Subjectivism. First, the Objectivism consisted of Naturalism that expressed the natural
phenomenon over human, culture, and Realism that human created under natural dimension.
Secondly, the Subjectivism consisted of Romanticism showing the paintings with emotions,
natural phenomenons power, and Idealism and Conventionalism focusing on the virtue and
moral standard.
The results were, then, synthesized to create the holistic knowledge by creative practice,
adaptive experiment, enhancement, and problem solving of aesthetic meanings so as to represent
the cultural characteristic in a new context.
