VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 3: Conserve present and care On completion of this unit the student should understand the presentation, conservation and care of artworks, including the conservation and care of their own artworks. What role does conservation and care have in the presentation of artworks? What exhibition spaces will I focus on? What artforms will I focus on? What will I learn from my research that will help me conserve and care for my own artworks? What are the conservation and care methods applied to artworks on display? What are the conservation and care methods applied to artworks on display? Outcome 3 Learning structure
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 4 Area of Study 3: Conserve present and care methods used and considerations involved in the presentation, conservation and care of artworks while on display in an exhibition space considerations of conservation and care that relate to artworks in the handling, storage and transportation of artworks relevant conservation and care methods that students can apply to their own artworks when on display relevant conservation and care methods that students can apply to their own artworks in storage, handling and transportation terminology used to discuss the conservation and care of artworks Key knowledge
