Who has done this for many years or a student whos just beginning. What you choose to use in making your art will definitely affect its life span. Boy the plaster wrap will probably fall off because of the rain, and then the tape will probably come off but its good while it lasts. Thats my thinking. Man we are in the Conservation Studio for paintings at the National Gallery of art in washington, d. C. We are very fortunate here at the National Gallery to have a very broad collection of art materials. We have paintings, sculpture works of art on paper, textiles, furniture, ceramics. And these works of art are made from many, many different materials that are affected very differently by things like light temperature, relative humidity, and therefore, its necessary that we work to preserve these objects for future generations. The Painting Conservation Department is, of course responsible for paintings, but we also have conservators that deal with sculpture and the other materials in the
Most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for evening everyone, welcome to the San Francisco commission on the environment.

Beautiful, rich, organic fertilizer that is sold and it is a coveted product. What goes in the trash . Not much, bags and wrappers, some departments are collecting clean plastic bags and taking them to the clearest participating Grocery Store or other retailers that are accepting plastic bags, if you dont have that program it should go in the trash. Dish ware, styrofoam and juice boxes and you will see it in a lot of forms if you see it in a block on the shovel and not in the fridge section it is a tetra pack it means that it has metal and plastic and paper and we dont have a way to separate those. All of the trash is hauled 70 miles away to the landfill. All the material that you put in your black trash bin goes to the landfill. And it stays there. We dont sort things for recycling or take out any of the composting at this point and when you throw something away that could have been recycled you are ending the useful lifetime of the Natural Resource it goes to the landfill and stays t
Before it is too late in life, and before your manner and taste were corrupted or fixed by working in your little way at boston. Narrator an impressive letter to a young painter and from the distinguished sir joshua reynolds. Could he be right . harpsichord continues John Singleton copley loved his country, but he wanted the richer artistic influences of the old world. Besides, talk of revolution was everywhere. Political contests, he felt, were neither pleasing to an artist nor advantageous to art itself. In 1774, copley left; it would make him a better painter, he thought. Sad for him, sad for america he never returned to his home. At 34, John Singleton copley was already one of the best and most popular painters in the american colonies. The Young American artist John Trumbull said of him, an elegantlooking man dressed in fine maroon cloth with gold buttons, this dazzling to my unpracticed eye, but his painting, the first id ever seen deserving the name, rivetedabsorbed my attention
