Architect’s Scale Tutorial

Material type: Simulation

Year: 2007

Authored by:

Becky Kinney

Description:

3d image of the end of an architect's scale

Learn how to read an architect’s scale. Tutorial includes instruction, self-tests, a demonstration and a simulated scale with practice lines to measure. Immediate feedback allows students to learn at their own pace, and the practice area provides a way to continue drawing and measuring lines for as long as is necessary.

Primary Audience: Design Students who need to use an architect’s rule

New Methods in the Cleaning of Paintings

Material type: Video lectures

Year: 1991

Used in courses: Undefined

Authored by: Richard Wolbers

Department or Unit: Art Conservation

Description

Richard Wolbers

Richard C. Wolbers is a pioneer in the development of new methods of cleaning painted surfaces. His research on enzymes, soaps and resins has been the basis for developing new techniques using water and waterborne materials to address cleaning problems.

This video course was originally recorded in 1991. The series includes 15 hours of lectures on the underlying principles and processes of this scientific approach to cleaning paintings and painted surfaces. In addition, case studies are examined to illustrate how these techniques can be applied to specific cleaning problems.

List of contents

The course is divided into 9 sessions each with a different topic. Some sessions have approximately one hour of video, others have two hours.
