Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will:
• become acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of the inorganic and organic pigments that are present in works of art and cultural monuments from the prehistoric to contemporary times
• gain knowledge of the pigment analysis, the identification methods, and the specific features regarding their exposure to various environmental factors. The students will be introduced to the modern paints based on polymeric binding media, their complex composition and the particular issues they present in terms of preventive and invasive conservation.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Α 2.13 (A2.3 + A2.9) Inorganic and organic pigments and dyes.
A2.3 Inorganic pigments, A2.9 Organic pigments and dyes
Course objective: Introduction to the natural organic pigments and lac dyes used by artists in the past and to the synthetic organic pigments that are present in the contemporary paints. Analysis of their physical and chemical properties, environmental stability, ageing phenomena and degradation.
Educational goals: Through this course the students will become acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of the organic pigments that are present in works of art and cultural monuments from the prehistoric to contemporary times. They will gain knowledge of the pigment analysis and identification methods and of the individual necessary conditions regarding exposure to environmental factors. The students will be introduced to the modern paints based on polymeric binding media, their complex composition and the particular issues they present in terms of preventive and invasive conservation.
