Course Objective

Cultural bodies stand on four fundamental pillars. The first pillar is the values; the second one is the norms, which protect them. The third pillar is the faculties, where the values and the norms are founded, explored and thought. The forth one is the artifacts, which are created and designed according to the needs of the living and surviving practices through the guidance of the recent three. Artifact consist two Latin words: Ars means art and Facere means the fact. Artifacts give priceless clues on the beliefs, practices and intellectual properties of the culture that originated from. Cultures facilitate these pillars to resist against each other and the greatest enemy of all, the mothernature.
