“Çatalhöyük Archaeological Site and Reception Unit Study Trip”

• As part of the “Çatalhöyük Painting and Printmaking Project,” initiated within the “Experimental Relief Print” course for third-year students and the “Workshop” and “Project Design Practice” courses for fourth-year students of the Department of Painting, a study trip was organized to the Çatalhöyük Archaeological Site and the museum areas at the reception unit on Monday, April 21, 2025, from 09:00 to 13:00. The trip was conducted with our faculty members Assoc. Prof. Muzaffer Yılmaz, Dr. Mehmet Susuz, Dr. Ömer Tayfur Öztürk, and the students enrolled in the courses. • A total of 45 participants, including faculty and students, joined the trip and recorded photos and videos on site. The collected visuals were later used in the workshop environment, where students worked on canvas with acrylic paint and practiced both relief and intaglio printing techniques in the printmaking studio. The completed works will be exhibited in a future exhibition.
