This proficiency in arts study, focusing on the importance of material in artistic creation and the role of ceramic clay as a material in art, focuses on the personal orientation of the researcher and the approach of material to the theme, design and work. In the first part, creativity and artistic creation, the role of the material in creation and the movements in the developing material repertoire, the development in art history are analyzed along with the views of artists, theoreticians, philosophers and historians. In the second part, the approach to material in art, some artists that are led by materials to a different way as well as some others who identify and modify their materials specific to their themes are presented through their own works. In the third chapter, clay body was examined as a material in art and as a tool of artistic expression and the clay body as a material with historical and pioneering examples. The physical and spiritual essence of the clay, as a material, which guides the artist, her inspiration, the process and experience of the artist are examined through artist samples and artifacts evaluations, then the use of clay body specific for design and theme, which is the main theme of this work, is analyzed over samples in view of artist's selection, making and processing of his/her specific clay in accordance with theme. The fourth part is the last chapter where the researcher presents the artistic works produced within the scope of the subject.

This study, in which the use of clay material in line with the theme of artwork is conveyed with the works samples, does not have an orientation of ceramic technology, therefore technical and technological details are limited to the artistic content and to the extent of referrals by the artists themselves.
