Abstract

Bu araştırma, seramik heykel sanatının tarihini ve geleceğini inceleyerek bu önemli sanat formunun gelişimini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamakta ve antik dönemden günümüze kadar olan süreçte seramik heykel sanatının rolünü ve değişen yüzünü gözlemleyerek gelecekteki potansiyelini tartışmaktadır. Araştırma, antik dönemde seramik heykellerin dini ve mitolojik ifadeler için kullanıldığını ortaya koymaktadır. Antik Mısır, Antik Yunan ve Roma İmparatorluğu gibi medeniyetler, seramik heykeller aracılığıyla inançlarını ve kültürlerini yansıtmıştır. Orta Çağ ve Rönesans dönemlerinde, seramik heykeller estetik ve dini amaçlar için üretilmiş, kilisenin iç dekorasyonunu zenginleştirmiştir. Bu dönemlere ait heykeller, geleneksel el işçiliği ve el yapımı tekniklerle öne çıkmaktadır. Modern dönemle birlikte, teknolojik gelişmeler seramik heykel sanatını kökten değiştirmiştir. Seramik heykellerin sanatsal ifadelerinde çeşitlilik ve değişim gözlenmiş, sanatçılar toplumsal, politik ve çevresel konuları ele alarak yeni ve çağdaş eserler üretmişlerdir. Seramik sanatının teknolojiyle olan ilişkisi, son zamanlarda artarak devam etmektedir. Özellikle 3D baskı teknolojisi, sanatçılara daha fazla yaratıcı özgürlük sunmuş ve heykellerin daha karmaşık formlarının ve detaylarının oluşturulmasına imkân vermiştir. Seramik heykel sanatı, kültürel mirasımızın önemli bir parçası olarak varlığını sürdürmekle birlikte sanatçılar gelecekte seramik heykeller aracılığıyla insanların düşünce yapısını ve toplumsal bilincini şekillendirmeye devam edecektir. Bu sanat formu, tarih boyunca evrilen ve değişen bir ifade biçimi olarak gelecekte de teknolojinin getirdiği kolaylıklarla birlikte sanatçıların yaratıcılığını ve ifade özgürlüğünü temsil ederek insanların sanatsal deneyimlerini artırmayı sürdürecektir.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the history and future of ceramic sculpture, evaluating the development of this significant art form. It observes the role and evolving face of ceramic sculpture art from ancient times to the present, discussing its potential in the future. In ancient times, people used ceramic sculptures to express their religious and mythological beliefs. Civilizations such as Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire reflected their beliefs and cultures through ceramic sculptures. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, artisans produced ceramic sculptures to enhance the aesthetic and religious aspects of churches' interior decoration. The sculptures from these periods stood out for their traditional craftsmanship and handmade techniques. With the onset of the modern era, technological advancements have fundamentally transformed ceramic sculpture art. Artists have observed diversity and change in the artistic expressions of ceramic sculptures as they address societal, political, and environmental issues, creating new and contemporary works. The relationship between ceramic art and technology has continued to grow, especially with the recent advancements in 3D printing technology, which provide artists with greater creative freedom and allow for the creation of more complex forms and details in sculptures. While ceramic sculpture art remains an essential part of our cultural heritage, artists will continue to shape the thoughts and societal consciousness of people through ceramic sculptures in the future. As a form of art that has evolved throughout history, ceramic sculpture art will persist in representing the creativity and freedom of expression of artists, enhancing the artistic experiences of individuals with the conveniences brought about by technology.
