Çömlekçi Çarkında Üretilen Çanak Formunun Sanat Nesnesi Olarak Kullanılması

Abstract

Ceramics, an indispensable part of civilizations from ancient times to the present, has evolved using various production techniques since its inception. The development of societies and the increasing needs have made it necessary to discover new production methods due to the inadequacy of the ceramics produced. In this context, the discovery and use of the potter's wheel, which enables fast and easy production, has been a major turning point in ceramic production. The potter's wheel is a flat plane used to obtain symmetrical vessels such as pots and bowls by rotating horizontally. Mostly used for the production of functional items like pots, jars, and pottery in primitive times, the potter's wheel is now actively used by ceramic artists, not only for traditional ceramic production but also for creating artistic objects. In primitive times, one of the important aspects of pottery wheel-produced ceramics was the production and development of the "bowl" form, which had functions such as cooking and storage to meet the needs of nutrition. Throughout the process from the Neolithic Age to the present day, the bowl form has generally been used in dining culture. With each period, thanks to the use and development of ceramic clay, it has reached the present day not only as a vessel for eating but also with decorations and character reflecting the characteristics of the geography. Transitioning from being just a utensil for eating to being considered an art object began with the proclamation of the Republic, as artists of the period started using the "bowl" form as an art object. Under the title "Evaluation of the Bowl Form Produced on the Potter's Wheel as an Art Object," various types and varieties of potter's wheels from primitive times to the present, artists using the potter's wheel in art object production, the chronological development of the bowl form, and the works of artists using the bowl form have been examined and researched. Based on these investigations, personal art objects have been created by combining bowl forms produced on the potter's wheel with the concept of "shadow."
