The course subject includes Western art from the Early Christian period, to the end of Renaissance and pre Islamic and Islamic art until the beginning of Ottoman Classical period. The course also presents the influence of cultural processes among these civilizations such as cultural diffusionism on stylistic characteristics using visual material and examples of architecture, architectural-plastic handicrafts and architectural monumental plastic artwork.
The aim of the course is to enable students to accurately use the concepts petaining to art and history of art starting from the first years of their education. It also targets to create a thorough understanding of how the concept of art originated and the understanding of art in different cultures. In order to achieve this, visual materials are used to introduce the stylistic traditions of cultures so that students can make a comparative analysis of the understanding of art then and today. Another objective of the course is to teach the concepts of history of art and enable students to comprehend, analyze, synthesize and evaluate the stylistic characteristics of the period being studied.
