Subject content
The methods of analysis are applied through exercises on examples of clothing artefacts of different stylistic periods. Interpretations of results are based on inter disciplinary approach. The course specifically discusses problems derived from comparative analysis. Comprehensive analysis covering the content of the artefacts, its historical and present-day reception
Aim of course
Introduction and historical overview of methods of analysis of historical artefacts. Managing clothing artefacts from their discovery to the conservation institute. Documenting clothing artefacts: category, typology and attribution. Usage of archival data and historical analysis.
