Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

This history of art course will explore topics in the history and theory of art in a range of pictorial and spatial arts across different geographies since the invention of photography and in relation to subsequent developments of the moving image technologies of film and video. It will assess the relations between traditions of art and these new image-making technologies, as well as exploring a range of other factors in the shifts and alterations in the practices and theories of art since the mid-19th century, but it will concentrate on the recent emergence of different types of work with or in relation to cameras.

Course Content:

Students can expect to become familiar with accounts of modern art as a series of movements including realism, impressionism, cubism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, conceptualism and minimalism, as well as accounts which stress other factors and modes of analysis. Work using photography, film and video will be introduced alongside more traditional genres and media of art. Critical arguments about the value and purpose of art, in particular accounts of modernism and postmodernism will be outlined. These will be tested by and through the critical investigation of recent art, its meanings and effects.

Students will be encouraged to ask critical questions about the relations between art, traditions, institutions and knowledge and to propose work that interests them for analysis. Work by Turkish artists will be introduced where appropriate. There will be three camera assignments set in relation to the arguments and ideas of the course.
