New special topics elective course FT 631A Overview of Modern Tapestries, 3 cr., 3 lec. hrs.
Prerequisite(s): None

Description: This course is a reading/research seminar. While the subject to be investigated will change from year to year, the goals of the course remain constant.

This course will focus on the special research skills and conservation resources needed to compile appropriate references for publication of a paper or creation of an original poster concerned with modern tapestry. Areas of investigation will include but not be limited to such topics as a study of the chemistry of materials used, the physical breakdown pathway typical of tapestry woven art, a historical compilation of treatment choices, special techniques used in the creation of modern tapestry, and appropriate conservation methods. An annotated bibliography as well as several presentations will be expected.
