THE ECCLECTIC STRUCTURE OF ART EDUCATION AND IDENTITY PROBLEM OF ARTISTIC PRODUCTION IN EASTERN SOCIETIES

Abstract

In an artistic education which is carried out by continuous replication of artistic works and concepts, the greatest problem is the problem of identity. The dominant art history is managed and generated by western societies. Participation of eastern societies in this process is as much as the western criteria owners. Moving away from not only replication of images but also thoughts requires revealing our own identity on the lands we live, no matter how complex it is; in order to achieve this, we must first of all built the broken memory, remember the things we have forgotten during trauma and carry along past experiences, traditional rituals, local characters suitable to the conditions of current time. Cultural memory of the societies is inherited from generation to generation through science and art, collective arts and artist of today, thinker and scientist would be the people who discuss identity therapy and these problems in detail.
