Preservation and Restoration

Many feel that architecture, art, and design elements should decay naturally. Others feel that all efforts should be made to preserve and restore artworks and buildings of significant historical value. What do you think? Should we go to all lengths to clean, restore and/or maintain a piece of cultural history or should we let the items succumb to the limitations of their materials and disintegrate naturally? Who gets to decide?

Write your response in a minimum of two paragraphs and make sure to cite any sources in MLA format.

Here are some topics to get you started on research and to help you form your opinion: :

Winterthur Museum: furniture conservation
Restoring Michelangelos David
World Monuments Fund
BuildingConservation.com
American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works
Journal of Architectural Conservation

Compare and Contrast

The spread of the Renaissance to Europe and England is further highlighted by an increase of national pride resulting regional interpretations and differences in the stylistic development of furniture items and interiors.  Select a furniture type: chair, table, bed, etc. and choose one French, one Spanish and one English example for which to conduct additional research.

Provide a three-paragraph minimum descriptive analysis of the stylistic characteristics and culture from which it originated using relevant terminology.  Include the following information:

– Artist, designer and/or patron (if known)
– Date of creation
– Medium/materials used
– Dimensions
– Important decorative elements
– Images of each furniture item

Why did you select these three examples?  Describe the stylistic link between your selection – what elements are similar, what are different?  Which do you feel best represents the overarching ideals of the Renaissance?  Why?

Remember to include a bibliography of your research and image sources.
