Animal figures have been a subject of art for ages. However, dinosaurs, which are extinct animals, were included in art history relatively recently. The first fossils were discovered in the early 1800s in England, sparking increased interest in these creatures. Dinosaurs were introduced to art history through sculpture, with sculptures installed in public parks to depict their appearance. As a result, the image of dinosaurs was created through the art of sculpture and painting. This intersection of science and art has once again emphasized the importance of sculpture. The concept of dinosaurs permeates various aspects of our lives, from playgrounds to the film industry. This study endeavors to elucidate a topic that often eludes attention yet persists within the realm of sculpture art. Through this endeavor, the aim is to augment the scholarly discourse within the field.

Dinozor Figürünün Heykel Sanatındaki Karşılıkları

Öz

Hayvan figürü çağlar boyunca sanatın konusu olmuştur. Dinozorlar ise sanat tarihine daha geç dönemde dahil olmuşlardır. 1800’lü yılların başlarında İngiltere’de ilk fosillerin bulunması ile birlikte bu hayvanlara karşı ilgi artmıştır. Sanat tarihine dahil oluşları heykel sanatı aracılığıyla olmuştur. Halkın ilgisini çekeceği düşüncesiyle parklara yerleştirilen bu heykeller, onların görünüşlerini belirleme gibi bir görev üstlenmişlerdir. Böylece heykel sanatı ve resim sanatı sayesinde dinozor imgesi oluşturulmuştur. Bilim ve sanatın kesiştiği bu nokta heykel sanatının önemini bir kez daha vurgulamıştır. Dinozor kavramı günümüzde çocuk parklarından film sektörüne kadar hayatımızda yer edinmektedir. Bu metin ile birlikte, heykel sanatı içerisinde göze çarpmayan fakat var olmaya devam eden bir konu üzerinde durarak bu konu hakkında bilgi üretmek hedeflenmektedir. Bu şekilde alan literatürüne katkı sağlamak amaçlanmaktadır.
