As one of the most important forms of expression for human beings, art has an important role between past and present in our cultural bonds. One of the most important talents of mankind is communication, and facial expressions are as valuable as words for this communication. Most of the time, we convey our feelings through our facial expressions. There is a connection between our identity and our face. Identity is an indication of a community or person's unique qualification, state and value, that is, values that are unique to man; it is the sum of all the features of the personality. Within collective identities, a person creates his/her own individual identity. These identities are in harmony with each other; they form and develop together. Facial expressions fully reflect these identities that we have acquired in life and our stance and feelings towards situations. In this study, artists who used face as an image in their works are examined and the use of face image on ceramic objects in the historical process is analyzed. The face, which is effective in the transfer of different expressions, has been the source of the works of many artists as images. Two different means of expression; art, and face, come together in the works of artists. Artists sometimes apply the face as an image in their works for emotion transfer through artworks, and sometimes use it in order to reflect different identities.
