Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

In this course, the students will be informed about current applications, areas of usage and exhibition techniques of miniature art in Turkey and in the world, and they will be directed to researches related to current applications. By the help of the research made by using different compositions and different application techniques, the students will be made to suggest new materials, techniques and application areas. For this, the students will be asked to make a visual presentation related to today s miniature artists and their works. During the presentations, we aim that they will discuss the new ideas and share them. In order to make an original miniature application, the students will choose the subject by themselves, and they will be supported to be creative in accordance with the materials and techniques. At the designing stage, the discussions on the sketches and compositions will be realized in the first and last lessons every week by the instructor.
