Course Objectives: | The course aims to provide the student with information that will make him/her equipped on the development of basic technologies and visual arts on chronological basis. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; - define the development processes of basic technologies, - define the development processes of visual arts, - dicuss the outcomes of artistic movements and works, - discuss the interrelationships between technology-production-crafts-arts, - analyze the effects of industrial revolution on arts and crafts. |
This first part of the two-semester course dicusses, as the forerunning references of industrial design, the development of basic technologies from prehistoric times to the industrial revolution. It also shows the process of evolution in visual arts during the same period. It gives information on how these two development/evolution processes interacted with the industrial revolution and prepared the grounds for a new discipline as industrial design. |
