| Course Description | In the sociology of art, the student understands that art is not a natural object but a social characterization, and develops awareness of how the artist characterization creates its own distinctive field of existence as a social category in every social space in the context of its relationship with social processes and units and agents. It also expresses aesthetic values, art and artist in a social context comparatively. |
