Abstract

This study focuses on the mechanism of AIGC tools' influence on the creative thinking of watercolor painters from the perspective of embodied cognition. Through literature research, case analysis, and empirical research, this paper deeply analyzes the influence of AIGC tools on perception, the interaction between body movements and creative processes, and the interaction between emotion and cognition. The study found that AIGC tools expanded the perceptual experience of watercolor painters, changed the interaction mode between body movements and creative process, and had a complex impact on emotion and cognition. The constructed influence mechanism model covers the embodied interaction, cognitive, and creative thinking transformation layers. The results of this study have important guiding value for the creation of watercolor painters. With the continuous development of AIGC technology, the frequency of watercolor painters using AIGC tools in their creation has gradually increased. Understanding the impact of these tools on creative thinking will help painters better use AIGC tools and improve their creative efficiency and work quality. This study provides a theoretical basis for understanding the role of AIGC tools in watercolor creation, provides a reference for watercolor painters' creative practice and art education, points out the research deficiencies, and looks forward to future research directions.
