Course Objectives: | The course intends to provide a basic understanding of how the world of art and culture operates. Using visual material as well as critical texts, the course aims to introduce art as a modern category and highlight its role in the contemporary society in the context of other cultural productions. |
Course Content: | This is a weekly elective course open to students from any department. It introduces key contexts, concepts and institutional structures in understanding artistic and cultural practices. How are artistic and cultural products produced, understood and presented to audiences? In what way art and culture are related and how can we think of art as a different category than other cultural productions? There is a specific emphasis on museums as key institutions that determine the distinctions between cultural products and the museum's role in protecting, historicizing and attributing value to these products. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Students will understand key concepts and ideas related to art and culture. 2) They will grasp the institutional structures behind artistic and cultural productions. 3) They will be able to view, discuss, interpret and analyze creative practices and cultural institutions with reference to social, historical and cultural context. 4) They will develop research, critical thinking, speaking and writing skills by presenting and writing on assigned topics on artistic and cultural material. |
