ABSTRACT

Through literature review and data analysis, this study examines the impact of traditional Chinese animation colors on adolescents' cognitive abilities. Specific research scope: color composition elements in traditional Chinese 2D animated imagery (1926-2023), adolescent cognitive abilities (11-15 years, 15-19 years, 19-25 years), and dialectical connections between cognitive and color content. This study analyzes the impact of watching animated films on children's color perception abilities through experiments conducted on adolescents aged 11-15, 15-19, and 19-25. Although the Chinese government has designated the animation industry as a strategic national sector and actively supports it, creators must consider its impact on teenagers when producing it to ensure its long-term development. Animation, as an art form that blends multiple artistic forms and academic fields, plays a crucial role in the cognitive development of adolescents. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of watching animations on adolescents' color cognition abilities by investigating the differences in color cognition between teenagers who watch animations and those who do not.
