Course Description

The course focuses on the history of art and culture. In this scope History of Art and Culture introduces the developments and concepts related to development of art and culture. Variety of fields such as painting, sculpture, drama, music, literature and architecture are discussed within a socioeconomic and political context; to give the student a total understanding of a particular time and place in history. Students are expected to have an awareness about the development and chronology of the art-historical periods and of distinctive styles. Within this perspective this course starts with first human being efforts in terms of art and continues towards to the current times where art and culture interactions become more complicated and less immediate.
