 In the story of modern art, while the works of art experts are examined, it is shown how “understanding” works as a network system by giving some examples of art of painting. Students are asked to make a formal analysis and comment of painting by using their senses, use some concepts of art such as abstraction, emphasis, proportion and drawing.In this way they are supposed to enlarge their knowledge of terminology. New roles taken by art, current art exhibitions, conceptual works of art, and lives of artists are covered throughout the course. For Example: French Art Center, the Forbin-Börtücene exhibition called “Warriors and Wars”. The aim of the course is to have a new point of view of perceiving events and people and raise awareness while examining the modern art by travelling seeing, living and meeting different points of view.

The course ends with the study of the historical trajectory of the relationship between the West and Non-West throughout the 20th century and the discussion of the sociopolitical and intellectual developments that challenged the validity of the Eurocentric approach in the social scientific discourse from mid-20th century onwards. At this point, the more recent, multifocal (as opposed to Eurocentric) accounts of world history will be discussed.
