 last day I went to Anadolu Medeniyetler museum which was about the Stone Age or we can say paleobotanic area and also Byzantine area. it was so interesting for me because history is one of the things that I always loved. imagine! you are seeing some things that belong to people or cultures that lived before us. We can see some art that at that time they didn't know that the things they do one day people call art and it will be so precious to put it in a place which called the museum and it's full of security.

when I went there I saw a lot of things that I studied before but didn't see with my own eyes, such as wall paintings, sculptures, painted dishes or Jewellery. it was so cool!!!

wall paintings were one of the most interesting parts for me because I imagine that at that time people wanted to show their lifestyle and their story and they didn't know what perspective or any professional things to draw and also they didn't have all the colors to paint with it. most of the wall paintings' color is red. they draw animals and their life-like hunting in a basic way to be just understandable. 

on the other hand, their sculptures are amazing!! digging a strong stone was not an easy way without technology. they did fine work with elegance on their faces. shaping the curly beard or the lines on their dresses. in addition, in Byzantine areas, sculptures are like Wow amazing!!!  how do they dig these amazing-shaped muscles with the least tools??!! how it could be possible? how much does it take to finish?? how hard was it? drawing those muscles first and taking them out on a stone. maybe in this century, it is not a shocking thing but I think at that time discovery of these types of art was an amazing and wonderful thing.






it was fantastic for me!

Today, in the morning as I didn't have any class, I started to research for the "artist statement" presentation. however, still I'm a little bit confused about it and I don't know what to work on. I found some sculpture artists but I haven't decided which one for the presentation yet. Unfortunately, I'm not good with the names of artists, I saw a lot of work but I don't remember the names. After that, I installed the sublime text platform but to be honest I don't know anything about it. The first days of school for me is full of nervousness. why??? because in the first days, my mind is so confused and I think if I do my works in mistake it will be so bad. today is one of those day!!! in the afternoon when I don't have anything to do I search on Pinterest and collect art pieces. it is one of my habits to collect them and then I use them in my works when I work with PSD. I mostly collect carpets pictures or art lines. sometimes I feel that there ...

 This weekend I watched a documentary film which we were supposed to watch as a task. the documentary film was so interesting. normally I'm not a fan of this genre but it was so cool and it gave me some information that I didn't have so far.  the name of the film was Lo And Behold, reveries of the Connected World directed by Warner Herzog. This documentary talks about all the advantages, disadvantages, effects, and life without it. it starts to talk about what was the first conversation between 2 computers with a net. the interesting part of it was that that first conversation was about the word "LO".  then it's about how technology can improve. it shows robots and how they play football and the director asks the scientist if can the robots also be that much improved to play like Messi or Christian Ronaldo and he says that's possible. If I want to be honest I have to say that's not good. it's scary to have a world with that much technology. what will h...
