A curator decides to display an eighteenth-century painting in a windowless room with controlled temperature and humidity. Pick
the answer that best describes the reasons for her choice: (1 point) 1)The curator wants to make sure that the temperature and humidity are comfortable for visitors. 2)Keeping the temperature and humidity at a set level will save money. 3)The ultraviolet rays will damage the painting by fading and flaking the paint. 4)Ultraviolet rays will fade the paint pigment and high temperature and humidity will damage the paint.
When displaying artworks you need to take into consideration how the elements could possibly damage the art. Artworks are fragile and need to be preserved. Ultraviolet rays from the sun fades paint pigments and the painting will lose it's original colors and vibrancy therefore keeping it out of direct sunlight is best. High temperatures and humidity will damage the painting making it curl or peel or moisture will build up on the surface damaging the paint therefore controlling the temperature and humidity will keep this from happening.
Two factors of a chapter that makes it hard to read is hard vocab usage and complex plots. I use the strategies of taking the time to search the vocab definition and I take the time to understand and digest the plot.
This painting is by Mary Cassat. She chose to use oil paints. When Cassat chose to use oil paints, she most likely considered that oil paints are slow drying which can make them difficult to work with, but also allow mixing and blending of colors to create various affects. She would have also considered that oil paints are long-lasting and retain their vibrancy over time.
