| Aims of the Course |
The aim of this course is to enable students to comprehend the historical development, fundamental concepts, and relationships with social life of art and design culture, and to allow them to evaluate the role of art and design in the formation of human culture. Within the scope of the course, the relationship between art and design and historical, cultural, aesthetic, intellectual, and technological transformations is addressed, aiming for students to recognize and interpret art and design products belonging to different periods, societies, and disciplines. It is intended to instill the understanding that art and design are not only fields of aesthetic production but also visual and material expressions of ideas, values, identities, and social changes. Accordingly, the course aims to develop students' visual culture awareness, aesthetic sensitivity, critical thinking, and cultural literacy skills, ensuring they evolve into conscious individuals capable of evaluating art and design products within their respective historical and social contexts. |
