APPPHYS 189: Physical Analysis of Artworks (APPPHYS 389, ARCHLGY 189)

Students explore the use of Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF) for physical analysis of material samples of interest for art conservation, technical art history and archaeology. Weekly SNSF demonstrations will be supplemented by lectures on intellectual context by Stanford faculty/staff and conservators from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF). Students will undertake analysis projects derived from ongoing conservation efforts at FAMSF, including training on the use of relevant SNSF instruments and data analysis.
