Course Objectives: | This course aims to focus on the contemporary photography that has transformed along with contemporary arts since the 1970’s. The concept of contemporary art that has been separated from the modern art for the last 4 decades will be explored. The second aim of this course is to combine contemporary photography combinations with one’s own experiences in photographic applications and to question the relation of the concepts to the visual experiences. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Identify and describe the concept of contemporary art. 2. Demonstrate knowledge of the contemporary art applications. 3. Interpret the theoretical background of the contemporary photography practices. 4. Compare the relation between global and local contemporary art practices. 5. Discuss the probability of conveying social, cultural and personal experiences through the language of the contemporary art. 6. Developing the ability to apply one’s own concepts in the multilayered narrative structures and forms of contemporary art. |
Works by contemporary photographers will be analyzed in terms of the narratives created by this concept and that are usually intertextual, more micro and more identity oriented. |
