are u a conservator? are u still working in the industry? how's the real daily life as a conservator? Sorry i have so many questions. I'm thinking to changing career and but the information I could find on conservator is really limited compare to other industries.
What exactly are you studying May I ask because alot of websites tell me different majors and minors to take to become an art conservator and I am unsure which one
@@caitlinmarks3964 my degree is called culture & heritage, an arts degree but i also have to do chemistry. There's a lecture called 'the significance of patina' with the tutorial a workshop. The degree concentrates on the techniques rather then a deep understanding of art history.
@@billie-joesgimp7981 hey! please could you tell me after fine art graduation, shall i apply for art restorer course is there possibility? Please dear let me know this.
I'm starting this year in the degree at university! It's called "restoration and conservation of cultural goods" or something like that since I don't know how to translate it exactly from Spanish :( I'm so excited!
hey!! well I've been studying art conservation at college and I feel comfortable to answer your question. I had an professor that used to say "art conservators are not artists". what he meant is you need to respect the painting, the artist, their ideia about the painting. you cant put YOUR idea or what do you prefer. the artist intentions comes always first.... and it also means you dont need to be necessarily an artist to be a painting conservator. I love painting conservation and I really wish I can be able to work in a couple years in a museum conservating a bunch of paiting and what I've been learning at my graduation is: one of the most important thing to do all of this is to understand and to know the technique applied at the painting. when you know it it's "easy" to make a restoration/conservation. study chemistry and art history it's very important (really important!!) I hope I could make it a bit clear to you :)) --- and also it's been a while since the last time I wrote a text in english hahahaha I tried my best. have a nice day!
