BİR ANA MENDİETA VARMIŞ, BİR ANA MENDİETA YOKMUŞ
(Ege Üniversitesi, Edebiyat Fakültesi, 2018) Balkır Kuru, Nur; Balkır, Nur
8 Eylül 1985’te New York’taki Soho polis departmanı bir acil durum çağrısı aldı. Ünlü minimalist sanatçı Carl Andre, karısı Ana’nın, yaşadıkları apartmanın 34’üncü kat penceresinden düştüğünü söyleyerek yardım istiyordu. Yardım ekipleri ulaştığında Ana Mendieta’nın cansız bedenini New York Performans Sanatları Okulu’nun çaprazında buldu. Komşuları kısa süre önce onların dairesinden kavga sesleri duyduklarını söylüyorlardı. Mendieta’nın vücudundaki izlerden ve pencerenin konumundan yola çıkan polis, cinayetten şüphelenerek Andre’yi zanlı olarak gözaltına aldı. Davada, Andre’nin avukatları, sanatı ve hayat hikayesinden yola çıkarak Mendieta’nın intihara meyilli bir kişilik yapısı sergilediğini iddia ettiler. Mahkeme, Mendieta’nın intihar ettiğine, sanatına bakarak karar verdi. İronik biçimde, Mendieta’nın toprağı kazarak varlığa dönüştürdüğü “kendi”nden kalan boşluğu “intihara meyilli beden” ile doldurup kapattı. Sanatçının ölümü ve fiziki yokluğu, sanatının temel soruları olan zaman, mekan, beden, kimlik gibi kavramlar etrafından yorumlanarak ünlü “Silueta” serisinin altına, tabiri caizse serinin son işi olarak eklendi. Küba kökenli Amerikalı performans sanatçısı, heykeltraş, ressam ve video sanatçısı Ana Mendieta’nın yarattığı imgeler yeryüzü ve ruh arasında ilişkileri sorgularken, sevgi, ölüm ve yeniden doğuş ile ilgili hayati sorularla yüzleşir. İlk başlardaki yenilikçi ve provokatif performanslarının yerini sonraları sembolik ve geçici işlere bırakmış olsa da, Mendieta beden, zaman, boşluk, doğa ve onların arasındaki ilişkisel bağları her zaman sanatının ana malzemesi yapmıştır. Bu yazı, Mendieta’nın fiziki ve ruhsal varlığını ortaya çıkarmak için kullandığı metotları kavramsal açıdan inceleyecektir. Mendieta’nın doğuştan gelen ırk ve cinsel kimliğini ayrıştırıp varoluşsal açıdan sorgulaması, Heidegger’in varoluşsal uzam ve Merleau Ponty’nin yaşayan beden kavramları üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Yanı sıra, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo, Rachel Whiteread gibi, benzer sorunsalları irdeleyen sanatçıların çalışmalarıyla kıyaslama yapılacaktır.

Blending Science and Art: an Educational Perspective
(Iated-Int Assoc Technology Education & Development, 2019) Balkır Kuru, Nur; Şaher, Konca; Şaher, Konca; Balkır, Nur; Mıhçı, Gürkan
rt and design education enable students to find creative and logical solutions to various design problems. The use of materials, constructive analysis, craftmanship, and originality are some key criteria in the process. Size and dimensionality, the proportion analysis, expression integrity, substantiality, and presentability can vary depending on the project and the context. As one of the methods used to provide targeted experience and learning in art and design education, interdisciplinary work presents a right ground for complex design issues. The workshop we carried out together with the Tubitak National Metrology Institution (UME) named "Art's Metrology, Metrology's Art" aimed to transform art, design, and science together into a product. As rational, natural, and appropriate connections can be established between art and science, students were asked to develop a method to meet the objectives and criteria of both around a certain conceptual focus. An important inclusive of the workshop was to have students observe, get informed, and engage in dialogue and ultimately increase their curiosity about a certain mechanism outside of their studies. The group dynamic in the process of creating three-dimensional and displayable works within a scheduled time was supported by a scientist from the metrology department, three art and design instructors, Konca Saher, Nur Balkir, and Gurkan Mihci from Kadir Has University. The finished works were then exhibited in the Tubitak-UME in Gebze compound. This study, which blends science and art, provided students with the opportunity to experiment with a science field, and to develop their predictions about their own disciplines. The paper will present the development and the outcome of the workshop.

Learning From Art Museums: Three Course Assignments for Pre-Service Elementary Teachers
(2010) Balkır Kuru, Nur; Balkır, Nur
This paper presents a course assignment that required pre-service teacher education students to reflect on a museum in the Fort Worth and Dallas Metroplex in Texas. As part of their art education course at the College of Visual Arts and Design of the University of North Texas students experimented with a variety of media and concepts to develop the skills necessary to bring art to life for children. These art-making and related experiences correlated with and reinforced the concepts introduced in the lecture portion of the class. Both lecture and studio explored the universal themes of personal identity the natural and man-made environment and storytelling as they appear throughout the history of art and are relevant to children's art today. This paper presents how a museum assignment is designed to further help them to appreciate a variety of art forms while analyzing the content and form followed by their own interpretation and finally exploring ways to utilize the museum sources in their teaching. © Common Ground Nur Balkir-Kuru All Rights Reserved.

Philosophical Concerns in Fine Arts Education
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Kuru, Nur Balkır; Balkır, Nur
Due to the rapid changes in society it is increasingly important to ask why we teach the way we do which teaching methods we should adopt and which we should reject or abandon. As a result it is crucial that philosophical concerns are integrated into art and design curricula. Novel interpretations and applications of teaching methodologies that will offer new and diverse art forms perspectives and worldviews are necessary. In what ways do philosophical theories influence critical analysis and create new opportunities for both educators and students? How can the so-called 'trendy' deconstructive approaches stemming from postmodern theories influence the variety of artistic and educational fields? This paper will examine the ties between philosophical theories and art education in order to examine possible pedagogical connections between theory and praxis. These possibilities are set out by means of specific applications or methodologies as practiced in inquiry-based art classes in higher education. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Visual Culture in Art Teacher Education: a Turkish Case
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Kuru, Nur Balkır; Balkır, Nur
As globalization impacts Turkish culture the training and preparation of art teachers is increasingly important because these individuals will play a key role in teaching children how to become visually literate in a quickly changing world. This paper explores the concept of visual culture in Turkey as perceived by eight art teacher instructors teaching at various public universities' educational faculties in Turkey. A phenomenological human science approach was employed in order to develop a description of the perception of visual culture and to predict the possibility of including visual culture studies in pre-service art education in Turkish universities.

Walking in the Unknown Paths’: an Experimental Curriculum
(IATED-Int Assoc Technology Education A& Development, 2016) Kuru, Nur Balkır; Balkır, Nur
How can we build a sense of perception through observing the 'seen' and the 'unseen' dimensions of the city? How can we perceive the living spaces with time and space in mind and capture the hidden meanings in the unknown paths of our city? How can we have the students input the imaginary and observed findings and have them read complex relations? What images are there to find and pull out to understand the realities of the living spaces hidden in the fragments of daily life? How can the architectural visual and environmental memory be linked with the current reality? How can a course curriculum be built around these questions in mind? The paper is an attempt to present how nature/culture/city may prompt the sensual side of students in various exercises and projects during a course and to understand how knowledge can be gained through reading complex relations in living spaces. The course projects designed to have students see and read the city and to enable them to search for the relations between what is seen and what is not will be presented. The overall aim is to provide insights into possibilities in art and design pedagogy and in building creative thinking. Creative thinking processes applied in drawing design and other disciplines and the relationships between words objects and memory in mixed media drawings will be explored.
