長期以來不論在動畫業界與學界，大多數的研究皆以製作與技術導向為主，較少有動畫創意的深入探討。本研究經文獻探討與實務經驗佐證，提出OMBRE 動畫創意發展方法，並以教學實驗進行驗證。研究發現：創造性問題解決、創造力教學、故事發展等元素可以被整合並有助於動畫創意的發展；國中、小老師們認為，OMBRE 對其創造力的提升及創意教學是有幫助的；實施OMBRE 對高中美術班與普通班學生在「創意」、「主題的新穎」、「技巧」、「美感」四個表現向度上大部分有正面影響。

Both in animation industry and academia, most of the researches are mainly focused on production theories and skills. Deeper discussions about creativity in animation are few. This paper proposes a set of methods for creativity in animation named “OMBRE” (Observe, Master,
Brainstorm, Rearrange and Evaluation). The methods were proved applicable through teaching experiments.This research discovers that creative ways of problem solving, creativity teaching, and Hollywood style stories can be integrated together to help the development of creativity in animation.
The teachers in junior high and elementary schools support that
the “OMBRE” methods are effective for enhancing creativity itself and creativity teaching. By applying “OMBRE” methods, there are obvious improvements for fine arts students and regular students in different aspects, including creativity, originality of subjects, skills, and esthetic sensibilities.
