Abstract
The effects of all changes in the social and cultural fields can be seen in the field of art as well as in all the layers that make up the society, and these changes also affect art education. Today's art has become a more difficult field to read and understand in terms of the subjects it deals with, and production techniques and expression possibilities. Postmodernist contemporary art, under the influence of globalization, has turned into a multi-disciplinary structure that includes the media in terms of new transmission and presentation methods that emerged in parallel with technological developments, and it has become more difficult to read and make sense of all these developments from the perspective of art education. In this process, the adaptation of concepts such as new media, visual culture and media literacy to art education has become necessary. The aim of this study is to reveal the reflections of social and cultural changes on art and art education. The reflections of the changes on art education are limited to Fine Arts Faculties and to Painting Education Departments of Education Faculties, which are among the higher education institutions providing art education in Turkey. In this study, literature review method was used as data collection technique.
