Course Description

THEA 252 Home Decoration is a free elective course which is open to all departments of our university.

Considering the number of students and workshop conditions during the semester, students will work one 3-dimensional object (large ceramic vases, earthenware jars, flower pots, wall plates, decorative objects, etc.) that can be used within the scope of home decoration.) it is aimed to do shaping work. In the continuation of the form creation, the design will be completed after the stages of glaze or oxide application on the surface. In addition to gaining this skill, it is aimed to provide students with assignments such as trips to museums, art galleries, art fairs to gain the perspective of the audience as individuals related to art.

Within the concept of design that has developed after the twentieth century, it is aimed to develop the power of creative thinking and artistic expression with ceramic materials. The desired result is to provide undergraduate students with the ability to use the technical and material properties of ceramics in design and production that can be reflected in industrial production with artistic creation and sensitivity.

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to develop students' three-dimensional perceptions and shaping skills, to experience the process of making a ceramic object, to teach ceramic methods.

Within the scope of this course; object design used for decorative purposes (home decoration products; large vases, flower pots, wall plates, etc.) and how the ceramic relationship is shaped is dealt with formally and functionally. It is aimed to produce qualified samples with advanced expressive power thanks to the use of ceramic material, which has plastic properties and is an important design element.

It is aimed to develop the ability to create a fired, glazed ceramic object using basic forming methods.

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes of this course;

1- Learning interdiciplinary designs in which artistic sensitivity can be transferred to industrial production and practice.

2- To evaluate the ceramic and design relationship correctly.

3-To understand how the combination of form and function should be established with the structural properties of the material.

4- To recognize the materials and materials that can be used together with ceramics and to gain the ability to think of them decoupled together.

5- To have knowledge to establish a relationship between object design and ceramic material properties.

In addition to aiming to gain form and surface shaping skills, it is aimed to gain an audience perspective on art by giving assignments such as visiting exhibitions, museums and art galleries.
