The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the issues of conservation and restoration processes in the basic areas of movable monuments of artistic and arts and crafts character, including the basic principles of preventive care and conservation. It includes the characteristics of basic materials and arts and crafts and art techniques, including the problems of material degradation, and an indicative overview of the methods of initial professional research and the conservation or restoration process itself. Emphasis is placed on the definition of the contribution of the expert - heritage worker to the course of the restoration process (historical, iconographic documents and methodological principles as an important prerequisite for the final interpretation); There is also an introduction to related sources and literature, including interdisciplinary contexts. The series of lectures concludes with a final presentation of the restoration action chosen according to the current situation in the region.
The graduate is able to work independently with literature serving as supporting material to expand knowledge of the work intended for conservation - restoration (official documents, restoration reports, documentation photographs, restoration laboratory surveys). It can use this information, for example, to specify lost iconographic details of a particular work of art, technologies used in the past, to define inviolable values of the work, accessories, etc. He possesses knowledge of basic sources and the scientific literature for interventions and transformations on the work of art intended for restoration and basic knowledge of period technologies and contemporary methods of restoration survey. The graduate will use the acquired skills and knowledge especially in the sphere of practical care of cultural monuments and collection funds (documentation and adherence to optimal climate and visitor regime in relation to collections).The graduate is able to work independently with literature serving as supporting material to expand knowledge of the work intended for preservation - restoration (official documents, restoration reports, documentation photographs, restoration services). |
