ART RESTORATION

Art restoration is the process by which a trained professional cleans, repairs and restores a damaged work of art to a state similar to its original condition. Degrees in studio art, fine art and art history are often required as well as graduate programs in fine art conservation. Specializing in a particular field is advisable. As an art restorer you would first clean the work of art, thoroughly examine the piece, determine what damage has been done, research its history, and then use the resources available to repair and restore the item to the condition of its original state, by all appearances
