Course Goal / Objective
Teaching how works of art left by prehistoric societies can be interpreted from their traces. Completing the abstract information of Prehistoric Art I with concrete information, the students are able to deal with art from the perspective of economic, social and spiritual values of prehistoric people.
Course Content
If we consider that the various forms and styles of art are wrapped up in the culture of societies, in analyzing art we in fact are examining the societies out of which art comes. For this analysis to be possible in early periods, starting with the earliest periods in which people made art, prehistoric art examines the social structures of the societies to which it belongs along with the patterned materials and kinds of spiritual behavior of society. The 'Prehistoric Art I' course will first focus on what might be the content of art and its perception. Then Palaeolithic art will be discussed generally, in parallel with signs of art's impact on people. Lastly, an ethnographic approach to art and the application of this approach to archaeological interpretation studies will be introduced.The students are introduced to the connection between modern Homo sapiens and artistic manifestations, and between human presence in Europe and artistic dynamism, and the students will be prepared to examine prehistoric art with the evidence for this dynamism in both mobilary and parietal art, styles of cave art, the materials used, and the dating evidence for the art.
