THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FEMALE FIGURE IN CERAMIC ART

Abstract

Ceramic art is as old as human history. People have a rich cultural heritage from the realization of their own realization to the present day. Ceramics are used not only as kitchen utensils, but also as kybele and idol in religious beliefs. The ceramics excavated from ancient times to the present bear the traces of the time of discovery. According to the information obtained from the development of science and technology, the terracotta unearthed in the excavation area has survived until today and continues to be used in different areas depending on the development. Figurative ceramics bring us closer to the cultural richness of that period by illuminating the climate, weather conditions, economy, religious beliefs and many other areas of that period. In this study, it has been tried to explain the situation of women's images, which are largely the art of ceramics.
