MS 227: Care of Paintings
Instructor: Victoria Montana Ryan
Dates: Sep 3 - Oct 11, 2013

Description:
Caring for paintings requires some knowledge of the component structure

man-made environments. This course looks at the painting structure, the 
effects of damaging environments, and proposes simple steps for basic 
care. Topics include the structure of paintings, proper condition 
reporting with standard damage vocabulary, and basic care and handling 
including environments, storage, and transport. The course is intended 
to help those entrusted with the care of paintings in any environment.

Logistics:
Participants in Care of Paintings work through sections on their own. 
Materials and resources include online literature, slide lectures and 
dialog between students and the instructor through online forums.
Care of Paintings runs six weeks. To learn more about the course, please
