Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the student with the knowledge of the mechanical, chemical and physical characteristics of the materials. The course aims to provide essential knowledge on the constitution of various classes of materials (pigments, metals, semiconductors, glass, ceramics, stone, construction, composites, plastics, lubricants), on their mechanical, thermal, functional properties and on some production technologies. The goal is to understand the artistic peculiarities of the work of art and its degradation. The course aims to encourage the study of the materials used by artists in works of art over the centuries starting from ancient civilizations up to contemporary art. In addition, knowledge of materials is integrated with design elements of compatible restoration systems. It also intends to stimulate the acquisition of the methodology for understanding technological processes.

In particular the course aims at:
1) favouring knowledge and understanding of soil functions and properties
2) learning how to apply soil science techniques to archaeological sciences
3) making judgments about soil's attitude to conserve archeological remains
4) learning soil science terms and communication tools

Learning objectives

MMosaic Conservation/Restoration course is being conducted by two different teachers, Livia Alberti and Francesca Mariani, who have worked out and share the training objectives, the teaching methods and the student assessment methods. The exercises in the individual modules, on the other hand, are prepared and conducted individually by one or the other teacher.
The course aims to prepare the student to approach mosaic restoration with:
- ability to diagnose conservation issues,
- ability to choose among possible technical solutions of intervention both from a conservation and aesthetic presentation point of view
- familiarity with documentation techniques,
- aptitude in exploring in depth the issues proposed by the intervention.
In order to achieve this objective, lessons will be held for the general knowledge of the mosaic sector both from the historical-artistic point of view as from the technical point of view of the execution of this type of artifacts. The different intervention techniques will be first explained in the classroom, in order to introduce the specific methods and the theoretical motivations that support the different phases of restoration, and thus prepare the student for the complexity of the intervention. The frontal lessons will be supported by images and summary diagrams organized in Power Point projections, while verifying the degree of understanding of each student through exchanges of questions and answers from both sides and deepening the various topics with classroom discussion.
The practical exercise, the core activity of the course, will be organized so as to address the various issues of restoration, such as cleaning, consolidation, reintegration and aesthetic presentation, especially on mosaics that are still preserved in situ in archaeological sites. Knowledge on the execution technique may also be deepened through the individual creation, ex novo, of a small mosaic with the traditional ancient technique. Practicing in the different intervention operations will also be aimed at improving the student's manual dexterity, from which we expect, at the end of the course, a conscious, precise and neat manual work, of a high-quality level.
The theoretical knowledge acquired during lessons, and the experience gained through practice, should lead students to be capable of making methodological and technical choices independently.
The purpose of the exercise will also be to cultivate students' planning and organizational skills as they will be experiencing the management of the worksite in its different aspects.
Their ability to learn and process the acquired notions, as well as their self-confidence and language skills, will be tested during the different modules when the student will be asked to explain and motivate the work. In addition, the assessment will be carried out by means of written tests including at least the complete technical report of a restoration work carried out during the year and an oral test during which the student will illustrate by means of Power Point one of the projects carried out or a particular subject that came up during the year.
