Objectives of the Course

Artistic and philosophical inquiry contributes significantly to the creation process in the development of the creativity of students who receive art education.

Course Content

Aesthetic questioning becomes one of the basic elements of creativity in transforming the concept and theme into form. Therefore, the intellectual infrastructure as well as the theoretical and conceptual framework are inevitable for the artist to question the existing with the aesthetic understanding of our age and to make self-criticism in the creation process of his work. For this reason, we will try to find relationships between variables by giving priority to basic concepts in the context of Theoretical / Conceptual Framework and Historical Perspective in our first semester courses.
