Dilara Mataracı, who successfully passed the first of the Proficiency in Art thesis monitoring committee in the Fall Term of the 2022 - 2023 Academic Year, also successfully passed the second phase of the thesis monitoring committee. Prof. Y. Hakan Gürsoytrak and Asst. Prof. Dr. Can Aytekin took part in the jury to evaluate the work on the text of the work, which was consulted by Prof. Dr. Caner K0aravit.
Mataracı, who stated that the research on the second and third parts of the thesis titled "Analysis on the Compositional Organization of Cloud Image in Painting" and the difficulties encountered in this process was mentioned in the thesis monitoring committee, made the following inferences under the title of "The Effects of Cloud Image on Human Psychology", which covers the second part of the study.
Res. See. Dilara Mataracı stated that she investigated the effects of cloud types on human psychology and behavioral patterns by considering meteorological data, and examined the reasons why the cloud image was considered as a picturesque element in painting. Mataracı, who evaluated the psychological and stylistic differences of cloud images depicted in allegorical or everyday life scenes in the works of artists from art history such as Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin, later focused on the cloud depictions at the center of his production and focused the works of artists such as John Constable, J. M. W. Turner and Ruisdael on the geographies they lived and the meteorological studies of the period. He emphasized that by looking at the outputs, he examined their consistency with reality.
In the third part of the study, titled “Sky Palette”, Mataracı, who made an analysis based on the cloud observations of Art Theorist John Ruskin and Goethe, shows the color palette and diversity used according to the types of clouds and certain times of the day, again with the paintings of John Constable, J. M. W. Turner, and Ruisdael. He said he was looking into it.
We congratulate Res. Asst. Dilara Mataracı for her success in the thesis monitoring committee and wish her continued success in the academic field.
