Museums and ceramic applications in the formation process

Throughout history, art has experienced a continuous process of change, shaped by different periods and cultural interactions. The only thing that has not changed in this dynamic process is man's effort to express himself. Experiencing different ways of expression, man has not hesitated to reveal his creativity by using the opportunities offered by nature to the extent his physical body allows. Developments in the fields of science and art show that every new thing that exists reflects human experience. Whatever the circumstances, science and art constantly offer innovations and creative solutions for humanity. This situation reveals the tendency to do art and science, which is a fundamental action that offers continuity. As an area where individuals are fed with the development they have undergone over time, museums have successfully adapted to changing living conditions. Art, science and culture have formed an area of unity that complements and is inseparable from each other. Museums are places that protect and preserve cultural memory thanks to the artifacts they host. Supported by the precise information provided by science, museums contribute to disciplines such as technology and history, while the field of art inspires individuals as well as helping to disseminate knowledge through these museums. The main theme of this thesis is to examine how museums contribute to the development of artistic expressions from a broad perspective. In this study, Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, Pera Museum, Istanbul Museum of Modern Art and Corum Museum were investigated in the formation process of artistic expression. Clay studies and applications were conducted on the placement of the artifacts shown in museums in memory. In addition, the concepts of art education and museum education were also examined. In line with the wide opportunities offered by museums, the issue of how individuals with special educational needs can receive help from museums was investigated, considering the right of every individual to receive education and visit museums.
