Learning outcomes
Subject objective consists in getting knowledge on natural binders, pigments, science methods of cultural heritage exploration, corrosion problems and conservation of some particular materials (wood, metal, ceramics).
Students are able to apply knowledge of basic scopes of problems. The first section is oriented to natural binders - natural macromolecular substances applied to creative art and restoration. Further section is focused on pigments. Another block is oriented to methods of cultural heritage exploration - analytical and diagnostic methods. Students are in shorter blocks acquainted with corrosion problems and conservation of other materials - wood, ceramics and metal.
