Course Description:
This seminar will explore the importance of the physical sciences in art and archaeology. In particular, we will examine how the discovery and development of materials such as ceramics, metal alloys and pigments influenced artists and how they utilized these materials to create works of art. We will also consider a number of case studies where scientific analysis played a crucial role in the authentication or conservation of objects. Laboratory workshops and guest speakers from local museums and conservation laboratories will supplement the lectures, readings and discussions. A weekend visit to a local art museum will also be scheduled during the semester. |
